Surface Modification of Co-Cr Alloy for Orthopaedic Applications

This monograph focuses on the surface modification of medical-grade Co-Cr (ASTM F75) alloy using the Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) to enhance the biological response, corrosion resistance, and surface properties of metallic implants. The aim is to improve long-term implant functionality by addressing critical challenges such as inflammatory responses, bacterial infections, wear, corrosion, ...
