Obtaining and Characterization of Biocompatible Co-Cr as Cast Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Biocompatible metallic materials used for surgical implants in human body should have superior mechanical properties, as: microhardness, wear resistance, tensile strength, elongation, fracture toughness, creep resistance etc. These results can be also obtained by strict setting and controlling of chemical composition, by adding chemical elements that lead at the improvement of the mentioned properties. In this paper has been presented experimental researches regarding the obtaining process of some biocompatible Co-Cr cast alloys, having different chemical compositions, using the method of vacuum induction melting (VIM). After the obtainment process, samples were characterised from microstructure and microhardness point of view.
