Study of Fracture Feature of Titanium Based Alloys for Biocompatible Implants after Removal from Human Body

Abstract:

The study of microstructure and fracture surfaces was performed on specimens of reconstruction plate, reconstruction nail and elastic nail. The composition and phase analysis of microstructure was performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) JEOL JSM - 6490LV equipped with EDS INCA X - ACT probe. Examination of fracture surfaces by SEM confirmed that damage was not simply due to fatigue but contained evidence of corrosion and mechanical fretting as well.
