Crevice corrosion in orthopedic implant metals

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research

|July 1, 1977

Abstract:

Studies of orthopedic implant alloys in crevice configuration suggest that cobalt-chromium alloys such as Haynes-Stellite 25 are the best choice for multicomponent implants. It is also shown that severe crevice attack may result from use of mixed metals.
