Corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviour of Ti−B4C composite intended for orthopaedic implants
Poor wear resistance of titanium is a major concern since relative movements due to the cyclic loads in body environment cause wear between the bone and the implant material leading to detachment of the wear debris and release of metal ions due to the simultaneous action of corrosion and wear, defin...
