## Abstract The two systems for artificial hip joints in use at present are metal‐on‐metal and metal‐on‐plastic. There are many variables affecting friction and wear, which include diameter, sphericity, relative geometry of the components, and surface roughness. Tests in a simulating machine incorp

## Abstract Investigations over the years have shown that the mirror‐finished Al~2~O~3~ ceramic is a much more suitable frictional counterpart to ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene than metal. Despite the extremely great hardness difference between polyethylene and Al~2~O~3~ ceramic, a
