Abstract

The alloy preferred for medical protheses, Ti6Al4V, was ion implanted with oxygen and nitrogen alone and in combination at varying energies, 25 to 120 keV, and varying dose levels, 1017 to 1018 ions/cm2. Measurements were made of microhardness, corrosion resistance, chemical bonding of implanted species, and (with UHMpWol yethylene) pin-on-disk wear and friction. The addition of oxygen to nitrogen implants now used in production was found to have little effect on wear or any other parameter.
