THE TRIBOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF MATERIALS FOR USE IN A MEDICAL TECHNIQUE

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2015, Vol 262, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper presents the procedure for technological research of new materials to be applied in a medical technique, especially for hip joint implants. The subject of the research and analysis was the metal-polymer combination in the plate-on-pin and ball-and-socket friction pairs. The surfaces of the tested components were shaped and prepared in accordance with the relevant guidelines of the standards. Tribological tests (modelling and simulating) were carried out using Ringer’s fluid. Tribological characteristics were determined. The correlation between technology factors (geometric features) constituted in the manufacturing process and tribological characteristics (friction coefficient, friction torque) as well as the surface shaped during operation (wear products) were established.
