Abstract
The lifelong success of all orthopaedic and other applied cases of joint and bone replacement depends largely on the strength and fixation stability. The current work of bio-implant fixation will largely rely on the mechanical fixation stability with different reinforced material mostly with HA-CNT reinforced. As the reinforcement provides the convenience to fill the gap and provide a greater strength. In spite of this in some inherent cases this affects the stability and leads to loosening of implants causing revised surgery. With the advancement in coating technology plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite coating on bio-implant material is now considered as a better and reliable means of obtaining stability and better fixation. The present paper is aimed on comparative study on tribological behavior of uncoated bio-implant material (SS-316L & Ti6Al4V) while experimenting on ball-on-disc wear testing machine. For this purpose, a précised specimens of SS-316L & Ti6Al4V substrate was prepared as per astm standards and were tested with different loadings and wear track diametric length under dry and wet conditions. The findings suggested Ti6Al4V has the lower wear failure compared to SS-316L.
