Abstract: Abstract Fretting corrosion of biomedical taper junctions has raised concerns about adverse local tissue reactions. Particularly for CoCr29Mo6/TiAl6V4 couplings the exact mechanisms and interactions are not fully understood. Proteinaceous tribomaterial within such contact interface may… read more here.

Abstract: Taper design is known to influence corrosive behavior in taper junctions used in modular orthopaedic devices. Manufacturing tolerance of bore-cone tapers is a critical design parameter due to the effect on taper fit, but the… read more here.
