In this study, CoCrMo alloy was oxidized in plasma environment at the temperatures of 600 ℃ to 800 ℃ for 1 h to 5 h with 100% 02 gas and its tribological behavior was investigated. After the plasma oxidizing process, the compound and diffusion layers were formed on the surface. XRD results show that Cr203, a-Co and ε-Co phases diffracted from the modified layers after plasma oxidizing. The untreated and treated CoCrMo samples were subjected to wear tests both in dry and simulated body fluid conditions, and normal loads of 2 N and 10 N were used. For the sliding wear test, alumina balls were used as counter materials. It was observed that the wear resistance of CoCrMo alloy was increased after the plasma oxidizing process. The lowest wear rate was obtained from the samples that were oxidized at 800 ℃ for 5 h. It was detected that both wear environment and load have significant effects on the wear behavior of this alloy, and the wear resistance of oxidized CoCrMo alloy is higher when oxide-based counterface is used. The wear rates of both untreated and plasma oxidized samples increase under high loads. 相似文献

UHMWPE composites reinforced with Bovine Bone Hydroxyapatite(BHA)in different contents were prepared by heatpressing formation method.A hip joint wear simulator was used to investigate the biotribological behavior of UHMWPE/BHAcomposite acetabular cups against CoCrMo alloy femoral heads in bovine synovia lubrication at 37±1 ℃.It was found that theaddition of BHA powder to UHMWPE can improve the hardness and creep modulus of UHMWPE/BHA composites,anddecrease their wear rates under bovine synovia lubrication.When the content of BHA filler particles was up to 30 wt%,UHMWPE/BHA composites demonstrated the well design performances of the surface and biotribological properties.Fatigue,ploughing and slight adhesive wear were the main wear mechanisms for UHMWPE and its composites.In addition,the sizes ofwear particles became larger with an increase in BHA powder addition.These results suggest that BHA filler is a desirablecomponent to increase the wear resistance of UHMWPE/BHA composites for biomedical applications. 相似文献

In this study, the applicability of plasma nitriding treatment in the production of non-magnetic and corrosion resistant layer on 316L stainless steel implant material was investigated. 316L stainless steel substrates were plasma nitrided at temperatures of 350 ℃, 375 ℃, 400 ℃, 425 ℃ and 450 ℃ for 2 h in a gas mixture of 50% N2-50% H2, respectively. It was determined that the treatment temperature is the most important factor on the properties of the corrosion resistant layer of 316L stainless steel. The results show that s-phase formed at the temperatures under 400 ℃, and at the temperatures above 400 ℃, instead of s-phase, CrN and y'-Fe4N phases were observed in the modified layer. The electrical resistivity and surface roughness of the modified layer increase with treatment temperature. Under 400 ℃ the corrosion resistance increased with the temperature, above 400 ℃ it decreased with the increase in treatment temperature. It was analyzed that the electrical resistivity and the soft (ideal) ferro- magnetic properties of 316L stainless steel increased with treatment temperature during nitriding treatment. Also, plasma ni- triding at low temperatures provided magnetic behavior close to the ideal untreated 316L stainless steel. 相似文献

Titanium alloy is one of the best materials for biomedical applications due to its superior biocompatibility, outstanding corrosion resistance, and low elastic modulus. However, the friction and wear behaviors of titanium alloys were sensitive to the environment including lubrication. In order to clarify the wear mechanism of titanium alloy under different lubrications including deionized water, physiological saline and bovine serum, the friction and wear tests were performed between Ti6Al4V plates and Si3N4 ball on a universal multi-functional tester. The friction and the wear rate of titanium alloy were measured under dry friction and three different lubrication conditions. The worn surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed that under the dry friction, the wear resistance of titanium alloy was the worst since the wear mechanism was mainly the combination of abrasive wear and oxidation wear. It was also found that Ti6Al4V alloy had low friction coefficient and wear rate under three lubrication conditions, and its wear mechanism was adhesive wear. 相似文献

In order to enhance frictional wear resistance and thermal fatigue resistance of brake drums, two kinds of biomimetic coupling materials are prepared by laser surface melting and laser coating technology respectively. These materials are all compounded by base metal and biomimetic coupling units, and have different coupling characteristics, such as the variation of the unit shape, different microstructures and hardness, different chemical compositions of units. The frictional wear resistance and thermal fatigue resistance of biomimetic coupling materials and gray cast iron used for brake drum are compared. The results indicate that frictional wear resistance and thermal fatigue resistance of biomimetic coupling sample is better than that of untreated sample, and among the biomimetic samples, laser coating treated sample has superior resistance to wear and thermal fatigue comparing with laser melting treated sample. 相似文献

A ball-on-plate wear test was employed to investigate the effectiveness of graphene (GP) nanoparticles dispersed in a synthetic-oil-based lubricant in reducing wear. The effect by area ratio of elliptically shaped dimple textures and elevated temperatures were also explored. Pure PAO4 based oil and a mixture of this oil with 0.01 wt% GP were compared as lubricants. At pit area ratio of 5%, GP-base oil effectively reduced friction and wear, especially at 60 and 100°C. Under pure PAO4 oil lubrication, the untextured surfaces gained low friction coefficients (COFs) and wear rates under 60 and 100°C. With increasing laser—texture area ratio, the COF and wear rate decreased at 25 and 150°C but increased at 60 and 100°C. Under the GP-based oil lubrication, the textured surface with 5% area ratio achieved the lowest COF among those of the area ratios tested at all test temperatures. Meanwhile, the textured surface with 20% area ratio obtained the highest COF among those of the area ratios. With the joint action of GP and texture, the textured surface with 10% area ratio exhibited the best anti-wear performance among all of the textured surfaces at all test temperatures. 相似文献

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene(UHMWPE)has been widely used as a bearing material for artificial joint replacementover forty years.It is usually crosslinked by gamma rays irradiation before its implantation into human body.In thisstudy,UHMWPE and UHMWPE/nano-hydroxyapatite(n-HA)composite were prepared by vacuum hot-pressing method.Theprepared materials were irradiated by gamma rays in vacuum and molten heat treated in vacuum just after irradiation.The effectof filling n-HA with gamma irradiation on tribological properties of UHMWPE was investigated by using friction and wearexperimental machine(model MM-200)under deionized water lubrication.Micro-morphology of worn surface was observedby metallographic microscope.Contact angle and hardness of the materials were also measured.The results show that contactangle and hardness are changed by filling n-HA and gamma irradiation.Friction coefficient and wear rate under deionized waterlubrication are reduced by filling n-HA.While friction coefficient is increased and wear rate is reduced significantly by gammairradiation.The worn surface of unfilled material is mainly characterized as adhesive wear and abrasive wear,and that of n-HAfilled material is mainly characterized as abrasive wear.After gamma irradiation,the degrees of adhesive and abrasive wear forunfilled material and abrasive wear of n-HA filled material are significantly reduced.Unfilled and filled materials after irradiationare mainly shown as slight fatigue wear.The results indicate that UHMWPE and UHMWPE/n-HA irradiated at the doseof 150 kGy can be used as bearing materials in artificial joints for its excellent wear resistance compared to original UHMWPE. 相似文献

Optimization of ion-exchange protein separations using a vector quantizing neural network 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this work, a previously proposed methodology for the optimization of analytical scale protein separations using ion-exchange chromatography is subjected to two challenging case studies. The optimization methodology uses a Doehlert shell design for design of experiments and a novel criteria function to rank chromatograms in order of desirability. This chromatographic optimization function (COF) accounts for the separation between neighboring peaks, the total number of peaks eluted, and total analysis time. The COF is penalized when undesirable peak geometries (i.e., skewed and/or shouldered peaks) are present as determined by a vector quantizing neural network. Results of the COF analysis are fit to a quadratic response model, which is optimized with respect to the optimization variables using an advanced Nelder and Mead simplex algorithm. The optimization methodology is tested on two case study sample mixtures, the first of which is composed of equal parts of lysozyme, conalbumin, bovine serum albumin, and transferrin, and the second of which contains equal parts of conalbumin, bovine serum albumin, tranferrin, beta-lactoglobulin, insulin, and alpha -chymotrypsinogen A. Mobile-phase pH and gradient length are optimized to achieve baseline resolution of all solutes for both case studies in acceptably short analysis times, thus demonstrating the usefulness of the empirical optimization methodology. 相似文献

Today, only hard/soft cup and femoral head combinations are employed for hip joint prostheses. Highly polished ceramic is a material with very good tribological properties for femoral heads, being highly resistant to mechanical wear and tear, and highly resistant to chemical reactions in the biological environment. The advantage of metal heads, in contrast, undoubtedly lies in their resistance to breakage and the ease with which their geometry can be modified with respect, for example, to antirotation angle and neck length. The ideal material for femoral heads is a combination of the two materials. The new multi-layer combination of titanium-niobium oxide/nitride ceramic coating applied to a prehardened titanium head combines the positive material properties in an ideal manner. Femoral heads made of CoCrMo, oxide-hardened titanium, aluminium oxide or multilayer titanium-niobium ceramic were compared by means of friction an wear and tear tests. The TiNb-ceramic-metal heads showed similar abrasion at the surface as the ceramic heads. At the high loads of more than 400 kp, which may also be reached under physiological conditions, the specially coated titanium-ceramic heads proved to be superior in terms of resistance to fracture and tribological properties. 相似文献

Total disc arthroplasty (TDA) can be used to replace a degenerated intervertebral disc in the spine. There are different designs of prosthetic discs, but one of the most common is a ball-and-socket combination. Contact between the bearing surfaces can result in high frictional torque, which can then result in wear and implant loosening. This study was designed to determine the effects of ball radius on friction. Generic models of metal-on-metal TDA were manufactured with ball radii of 10, 12, 14 and 16 mm, with a radial clearance of 0.015 mm. A simulator was used to test each sample in flexion-extension, lateral bending and axial rotation at frequencies of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and 2 Hz under loads of 50, 600, 1200 and 2000 N, in new born calf serum. Frictional torque was measured and Stribeck curves were plotted to illustrate the lubrication regime in each case. It was observed that implants with a smaller ball radius showed lower friction and showed boundary and mixed lubrication regimes, whereas implants with larger ball radius showed boundary lubrication only. This study suggests designing metal-on-metal TDAs with ball radius of 10 or 12 mm, in order to reduce wear and implant loosening. 相似文献

Investigation on the Tribological Behavior and Wear Mechanism of Five Different Veneering Porcelains
Objectives
The primary aim of this research was to investigate the wear behavior and wear mechanism of five different veneering porcelains.Methods
Five kinds of veneering porcelains were selected in this research. The surface microhardness of all the samples was measured with a microhardness tester. Wear tests were performed on a ball-on-flat PLINT fretting wear machine, with lubrication of artificial saliva at 37°C. The friction coefficients were recorded by the testing system. The microstructure features, wear volume, and damage morphologies were recorded and analyzed with a confocal laser scanning microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The wear mechanism was then elucidated.Results
The friction coefficients of the five veneering porcelains differ significantly. No significant correlation between hardness and wear volume was found for these veneering porcelains. Under lubrication of artificial saliva, the porcelain with higher leucite crystal content exhibited greater wear resistance. Additionally, leucite crystal size and distribution in glass matrix influenced wear behavior. The wear mechanisms for these porcelains were similar: abrasive wear dominates the early stage, whereas delamination was the main damage mode at the later stage. Furthermore, delamination was more prominent for porcelains with larger crystal sizes.Significance
Wear compatibility between porcelain and natural teeth is important for dental restorative materials. Investigation on crystal content, size, and distribution in glass matrix can provide insight for the selection of dental porcelains in clinical settings. 相似文献12.

There is renewed interest in metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip replacements (THRs), however, variable wear rates have been observed clinically. It is hypothesised that changes in soft tissue tensioning during surgery may alter loading of THRs during the swing phase of gait leading to changes in fluid film lubrication, friction and wear. This study aimed to assess the effect of swing phase load on the lubrication, friction and wear of MOM hip replacements. Theoretical lubrication modelling was carried out using elastohydrodynamic theory. All the governing equations were solved numerically for the lubricant film thickness between the articulating surfaces under the transient dynamic conditions with low and high swing phase loads. Friction testing was completed using a single axis pendulum simulator, simplified loading cycles were applied with low and high swing phase loads. MOM hip replacements were tested in a hip simulator, modified to provide different swing phase loading regimes; a low (100 N) and a high load (as per ISO 14242-1; 280 N). Results demonstrated that the performance of MOM bearings is highly dependent on swing phase load. Hence, changes in the tension of the tissues at surgery and variations in muscle forces may increase swing phase load, reduce lubrication, increase friction and accelerate wear. This may explain some of the variations that have been observed with clinical wear rates. 相似文献

Three sources of hamster periovulatory fluids (± heat inactivation at 56°C), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as control, were tested for effects on penetration of three classes of eggs by hamster sperm precapacitated in BSA. These fluids were a soluble extract of cumulus oophorus fluid (COF) from the ovulated hamster egg-cumulus complex, serum, and follicular fluid. Egg types were ovulated, salt-stored (ovulated), and follicular. In both COF and serum, there were significant differences among egg types in mean penetration, and significant effects of fluid addition. In contrast, there was no effect of follicular fluid and no differences between follicular and stored eggs. For the follicular eggs (combined data, normalized, ranked), patterns of response to the three factors (± heating) were different: only unheated COF and heated serum increased penetration significantly above BSA control levels (average rank 20.2, 41.4, 38, for BSA, COF (unheated), serum (heated), respectively). This indicated that the active component in COF was heat labile, not present in either serum or follicular fluid, and, therefore, of oviductal origin. Oviduct and/or COF exposure of eggs and sperm was tested for effects as an acrosome reaction inducing factor (ARIF) for acrosome reactions (AR; zonabound and free-swimming sperm) and on sperm:zona binding and penetration. The COF ARIF for free-swimming sperm AR was heat stable. Penetration of follicular eggs increased after incubation in COF prior to sperm addition, but a greater response occurred when COF was added to eggs with sperm. In kinetic experiments, 25 min following sperm attachment, follicular eggs had lost 41% of initially bound sperm, vs. 23% for ovulated eggs, and had only 16 AR sperm/egg, vs. 26 for ovulated. Follicular eggs incubated in COF (then washed three times) had the same number of bound AR sperm as ovulated eggs. Acid solubilized zona pellucida (ASZP) from ovulated eggs was more effective as an ARIF per zona than ASZP from follicular eggs. Zonae of follicular eggs, as eivdenced by dissolution times in β-mercaptoethanol (β-MEOH), were not “harder” than those of ovulated eggs. There were differences in lectin binding antigens on zonae of both fresh and stored, follicular and ovulated, eggs. We conclude that multiple biological factors orchestrate sperm:egg interactions in the ampulla. Our data are consistent with the presence of at least three effective components: (1) the oviductal lectin-binding antigen (ZPO or oviductin), (2) an additional heat-labile component, and (3) the heat-stable ARIF for free-swimming sperm. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Carbon Fiber (CF) reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite is one of the most promising implant biomaterials used in orthopedics.In this article,unfilled PEEK and CF/PEEK specimens were prepared by vacuum hot pressing method,and their tribological properties were evaluated by sliding against a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy block.The influences of mass fraction of carbon fibers in CF/PEEK and the surface oxidation treatment of carbon fibers were explored.The results showed that the water contact angles on the surfaces of CF/PEEK specimens decreased,indicating that their surface wettability was improved.The hardness value of CF/PEEK was significantly improved,the friction coefficients of CF/PEEK were effectively reduced and its wear resistance was enhanced compared with unfilled PEEK.The leading effect on CF/PEEK tribological properties was the mass fraction of CF,followed by surface oxidation of CF,and the calf serum solution had better lubricity than that of saline and deionized water. 相似文献

Titanium cermet was successfully synthesized and formed a thin gradient titanium carbide coating on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy by using a novel sequential carburization under high temperature, while the titanium cermet femoral head was produced. The titanium cermet phase and surface topography were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and backscattered electron imaging (BSE). And then the wear behavior of titanium cermet femoral head was investigated by using CUMT II artificial joint hip simulator. The surface characterization indicates that carbon effectively diffused into the titanium alloys and formed a hard TiC layer on the Ti6Al4V alloys surface with a micro-porous structure. The artificial hip joint experimental results show that titanium cermet femoral head could not only improve the wear resistance of artificial femoral head, but also decrease the wear of UHMWPE joint cup. In addition, the carburized titanium alloy femoral head could effectively control the UHMWPE debris distribution, and increase the size of UHMWPE debris. All of the results suggest that titanium cermet is a prospective femoral head material in artificial joint. 相似文献

1. Using protein-separative chromatographic procedures and assays specific for putrescine oxidase and spermidine oxidase, adult bovine serum was found to contain a single polyamine-degrading enzyme with substrate preferences for spermidine and spermine. Apparent Km values for these substrates were approx. 40 microM. The apparent Km for putrescine was 2 mM. With spermidine as substrate, the Ki values for aminoguanidine (AM) and methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) were 70 microM and 20 microM respectively. 2. Bovine serum spermidine oxidase degraded spermine to spermidine to putrescine and N8-acetylspermidine to N-acetylputrescine. Acrolein was produced in all these reactions and recovered in quantities equivalent to H2O2 recovery. 3. Spermidine oxidase activity was present in foetal bovine serum, but increased markedly after birth to levels in adult serum that were almost 100 times the activity in foetal bovine serum. 4. Putrescine oxidase, shown to be a separate enzyme from bovine serum spermidine oxidase, was present in foetal bovine serum but absent from bovine serum after birth. This enzyme displayed an apparent Km for putrescine of 2.6 microM. The enzyme was inhibited by AM and MGBG with Ki values of 20 nM. Putrescine, cadaverine and 1,3-diaminopropane proved excellent substrates for the enzyme compared with spermidine and spermine, and N-acetylputrescine was a superior substrate to N1- or N8-acetylspermidine. 相似文献

The degree of dental wear was measured in 41 mandibular first molars from red deer of known age (range 2–18 years). The calculated wear indices were positively correlated with age ( r = 0.780, P < 0.001). In the same sample, significant ( P < 0.001) differences in hardness (determined by microhardness testing) were observed between enamel and coronal dentine as well as between outer and inner enamel and dentine, respectively. In animals belonging to the same age group (three-year-olds, n = 11), a negative correlation ( r = -0.830, P = 0.0016) was found between wear index and maximum mean enamel hardness. In a sample of five specimens from this age group, a negative correlation ( r = -0.918, P = 0.028) between maximum calcium concentration of enamel (measured by electron microprobing) and wear index was also recorded. We concluded that the intensity of enamel mineralization had a decisive effect on the degree of dental wear. Measuring of enamel hardness and subsequent modification of wear scores or indices is therefore recommended for future studies on the relationship between age and the degree of dental attrition in deer. 相似文献

Three types of rough surface were processed by laser irradiation on the 3Cr2W8V material hot-work die steel surface.The wear experiments with smooth surface and rough surface samples were repeated on the pin-tray wear machine. According to the wear results, we studied the regularity of wear resistance of different rough surface samples. The results indicated that bionic rough surface can improve the wear resistance of the material and the wear resistance can be increased 1 - 2 times, compared with the smooth surface. Also, the wear resistance of the rough surface was affected by laser current and duration of impulse. The bigger the laser current or the impulse duration, the better is the wear resistance. When the distance between the same kind of units which are distributed on the surfaces is changed, the wear resistance changes. The wear resistance of a bionic rough surface on which the grid units were distributed at spacing of 1 mm was the best. And we designed the wear models. 相似文献

Understanding the frictional interactions between the shoe and floor during walking is critical to prevention of slips and falls, particularly when contaminants are present. A multiscale finite element model of shoe-floor-contaminant friction was developed that takes into account the surface and material characteristics of the shoe and flooring in microscopic and macroscopic scales. The model calculates shoe-floor coefficient of friction (COF) in boundary lubrication regime where effects of adhesion friction and hydrodynamic pressures are negligible. The validity of model outputs was assessed by comparing model predictions to the experimental results from mechanical COF testing. The multiscale model estimates were linearly related to the experimental results (p < 0.0001). The model predicted 73% of variability in experimentally-measured shoe-floor-contaminant COF. The results demonstrate the potential of multiscale finite element modeling in aiding slip-resistant shoe and flooring design and reducing slip and fall injuries. 相似文献

This study describes the effect of the presence of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) and titanium-6aluminium-4vanadium (Ti6AL4V) disc samples on the CD3-mediated in vitro response of human peripheral blood T lymphocyt es. Lymphocyte proliferation in the presence and absence of these metal alloy discs was measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation. Inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation was observed in the presence of CoCrMo disc samples. In contrast, the presence of the Ti6AL4V metal alloy discs had no effect on T cell proliferation. Ultrastructural studies using scanning electron microscopy revealed that the differences in the number of blast cells on uncoated CoCrMo and Ti6AL4V discs from a 4 day culture were consistent with the results observed in the proliferation experiments, i.e. fewer blast cells were seen on the CoCrMo than on the Ti6AL4V discs. In addition, a quantitative analysis of trace elements using total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry in supernatants from 68 h in vitro cultures containing Ti6AL4V or CoCrMo disc samples was performed, revealing differences in the relative metal concentrations in the culture conditions tested. These differences point to the presence of cobalt in the supernatants as a possible determining factor of the inhibition observed. Because cell viability did not appear to change, a more complex mechanism involving the interaction of metals with T lymphocytes may account for the results obtained. 相似文献
