Tribological properties of Ti-based alloys in a simulated bone–implant interface with Ringer’s solution at fretting contacts

Abstract: The wear properties of oxidized and non-oxidized gamma-TiAl (a potential biomaterial) as well as Ti-6Al-4V and CP-Ti disks were studied and characterized by means of standard wear tests using a custom made bone pin arrangement. The Ti-base disks were oxidized in air at 500°C and 800°C for one hour. The tribological properties of the oxides formed over the disks were studied using a linear reciprocating wear testing machine under both dry and simulated biological conditions using Ringer's solution.

“…It is widely believed that film roughness exerts an important role in the COF. Generally speaking, a rougher film results in larger contact area and more asperity collisions [26]. Given that all surfaces were tested against Tungsten Carbide at 30 N load in dry air, 3 Hz frequency and 10 mm displacement.…”

“…They concluded that biofilms are responsible for a reduction in the coefficient of friction, although a localized decreasing of the pH is responsible for a decrease in the corrosion resistance of the surface. Ramos-Saenz et al [39] studied bone-implant contacts in thermally oxidized titanium alloys, which resulted in abrasion and adhesion wear mechanisms of these materials.…”

“…Hence the principal aim of this study is to understand the wear behavior and tribological properties of gamma-TiAl for reciprocatory sliding wear both in the unoxidized and oxidized conditions (at 500°C and 800°C) and under both dry and lubricated conditions, keeping in mind primarily implant applications. An earlier study characterized wear behavior for the above material using a novel bone pin made from a bovine femur [24] , where the wear was completely concentrated on the bone. In this study, a harder SS pin is used to produce wear in the oxide layer generated on gamma-TiAl.…”
