| Abstract Scope |
This study explores the development of Co-Cr-Nb ternary alloys as potential metallic biomaterials for clinical implants. The alloys were developed using spark plasma sintering with optimized parameters. The results showed that the FCC phase observed was likely due to Co powder and Nb element content, and the HCP phase was from martensitic transformation. The alloys showed improved nanomechanical characteristics, better wear resistance, and improved polarization resistance, with the Co-Cr-5Nb alloy yielding 200.42 Ω and the Co-Cr-6Nb alloy yielding 374.29 Ω. |
