β¦ Synopsis
Orthopedic appliances of type 316 (SMO) stainless steel were examined in detail after being removed from human subjects. Techniques included conventional microscopy with various lighting methods, together with electron microscope fractography. Corrosion, fatigue failure, and manufacturing defects were identified and statistically tabulated. of all mult icomponent devices and the overall incidence of fracture failure was 9%. These results indicate an urgent ueed for st,ronger, more corrosion-resistant implant alloys.

## Abstract Cyclic polarization curves obtained for a cobaltβbase casting alloy (similar to Vitallium Surgical Alloy) and for 316L stainless steel show that the cobaltβbase alloy exhibits a high (noble) protection potential whereas the stainless steel exhibits a low (active) protection potential. I
Cobalt-chromium alloy porous coatings have become increasingly popular as a means of achieving a stable, longer lasting fixation on orthopedic implants. However, sintering heat treatments cause changes in the microstructure that result in changes in the corrosion behavior of the porous coatings. Exp
