Abstract
Metal ion release, caused by synergistic effect of wear and corrosion, is one of the major concerns related to the prostheses lifetime. In this work, samples of additive manufactured Ti6Al4V are machined under dry cutting and cryogenic cooling conditions and their performances in terms of corrosion and fretting corrosion response are investigated. A wet and temperature‐controlled apparatus equipped with an electro‐chemical cell is designed and set‐up in order to evaluate the fretting corrosion effect acting at the interfaces. The obtained results show that the cryogenic machining improves the corrosion and fretting corrosion behavior of the investigated additive manufactured Ti6Al4V.
