## Abstract Stem modularity in total hip replacement introduces an additional taper joint between Ti‐6Al‐4V stem components with the potential for fretting corrosion processes. One possible way to reduce the susceptibility of the Ti‐6Al‐4V/Ti‐6Al‐4V interface to fretting is the surface modification
Pin-on-disk sliding wear studies have been conducted on untreated and ion-implanted UHMWPE against an oxidised Ti-6A1-4V alloy. Under water lubricated conditions no wear was measured. The enhanced mechanical and physical properties of the surface treated materials are responsible for the improved we
