“…There are few studies regarding the tribocorrosion behavior of the CoCrMo alloy in SBF+BSA [32,33]. There are also only a few publications regarding the tribocorrosion behavior of multilayer coatings [25,34,35] and fewer studies yet of the tribological behavior of TiAlCN/TiAlN and nanocomposite (nc) TiAlV(N,C)/amorphous C multilayer [36].…”

“…However, there have been increasing concerns regarding the long-term durability of the joint replacement due to the generation of nano-sized particles and the release of toxic metal ions [1][2][3]. It has been recognized that tribocorrosion plays a very important role in degradation of CoCrMo alloys in biological environments, due to the synergistic effects between wear and corrosion [4][5][6]. The passive film on the bearing surface can be damaged or removed by the sliding motion between the articulating surfaces, resulting in accelerated corrosion, which can in many cases lead to accelerated wear [7,8].…”

“…The passive film on the bearing surface can be damaged or removed by the sliding motion between the articulating surfaces, resulting in accelerated corrosion, which can in many cases lead to accelerated wear [7,8]. Many efforts have been made in the past decade to investigate the tribocorrosion behavior CoCrMo alloys in laboratory and simulator tests [4][5][6][9][10][11][12]. An excellent review in this area has recently been provided by Mischler and Munoz [13].…”

In the present study, magnetron sputtering was used to deposit two types of duplex coatings, S/Cr(N) and S/Cr(C), onto ASTM F75 CoCrMo cast alloy, aiming at improving the tribocorrosion behavior of the medical alloy. The duplex coatings were fabricated and structured such that the inner layer comprised carbon S phase with a CoCrMo matrix by sputtering a CoCrMo alloy target in the presence of carbon containing atmosphere. The duplex coatings were found to be elastically compatible with the CoCrMo alloy, and possess higher hardness and a larger hardness-to-modulus ratio than the uncoated alloy. Tribocorrosion tests were conducted in 0.89 % NaCl solution at 37°C under elastic contact and unidirectional sliding conditions. The results showed that the duplex S/Cr(N) coating was very effective in improving the tribocorrosion behavior of the alloy at all applied potentials, in terms of reduced friction and much improved resistance to total material loss (TML) by up to more than one order of magnitude. On the other hand, the duplex S/Cr(C) coating was effective only at open circuit and anodic potentials (APs), but not at cathodic potentials. The uncoated alloy exhibited low friction and low TML at a large cathodic potential and experienced peculiar frictional behavior at the tested AP. The results are discussed in terms of material transfer, hydrogen charging, third body effects, and synergism between wear and corrosion.

“…Cobalt-chrome alloys (CoCr) are metallic materials commonly used for the MoM hip joints due to their substantially low corrosion and wear rates (Silva, Heisel, & Schmalzried, 2005;Yan, Neville, Dowson, & Williams, 2006;Yan, Neville, & Dowson, 2007). However, particles are still produced as a result of wear and corrosion and this may cause osteolysis and eventually failure of the prosthesis (Billi et al, 2009;Hosman et al, 2010;Catelas et al, 2003).…”

“…The risks of fracture associated with the use ceramic bearing have motivated the interest in MoM bearings (Bitar & Parvizi, 2015). Cobalt-chrome alloys (CoCr) are commonly used for the MoM hip joints due to their substantially low corrosion and wear rates (Silva, Heisel, & Schmalzried, 2005;Yan, Neville, Dowson, & Williams, 2006;Yan, Neville, & Dowson, 2007). Their excellent corrosion resistance relies on the formation of very stable, continuous, highly adherent and protective passive film on the metallic surface (Milosev, 2012).…”

The study of the biocompability of the metallic materials is a priority treating to avoid the osteolysis and aseptic loosening of prosthesis. Wear debris is considered one of the main factors responsible for aseptic loosening of orthopedic endoprostheses. We examined the response of mouse osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 to high carbon cobalt-chrome (HCCoCr) particles obtained a) from wear-corrosion assays on a pin-on-disk tribometer using as pair an alumina ball and a disc of a HCCoCr alloy, and b) HCCoCr bulk particles obtained by nitrogen gas atomization from an alloy used in clinic for prostheses application. Mitochondrial activity and lactate dehydrogenase activity assayed in 2D and 3D osteoblasts cell culture models were used to evaluate the cellular response to size, shape, and chemical composition of the metallic particles. 2D cell model was used to study the direct interaction of cells with particles and 3D cell cultures was used to more closely mimic in vivo conditions. The results showed that vimentin was overexpressed in the 2D osteoblasts cultures in presence of metal particles. This might be related to the appearance of pseudotumor in the peri-prosthetic vicinity described in some implanted patients.
