Wear studies on plasma-sprayed Al(2)O(3) and 8mole% of Yttrium-stabilized ZrO(2) composite coating on biomedical Ti-6Al-4V alloy for orthopedic joint application

This paper presents the wear characteristics of the composite ceramic coating made with Al(2)O(3)-40wt%8YSZ on the biomedical grade Ti-6Al-4V alloy (grade 5) used for total joint prosthetic components, with the aim of improving their tribological behavior. The coatings were deposited using a plasma...
