Microknurling, a high pressure surface indentation technique, was devised as an alternative to traditional heat-bonded porous coatings found on many orthopedic implants designed for fixation by tissue ingrowth. Heat-bonded porous coating can cause at the surface of an implant stress concentrations t

โฆ Synopsis
Porous-coated Ti-6A1-4V has a fatigue strength approximately one-third that of the uncoated alloy. The interfacial geometry between the porous coating and the implant substrate is notchlike, leading to stress concentrations that have been shown to be the main cause for the reduction in fatigue strength. In this study, the effect of interfacial geometry on fatigue strength of porouscoated Ti-6A1-4V is quantified. The interface between porous coating and implant is modeled using linear Philadelphia, Pennsylvania elastic, plane strain finite element analysis. Integrated with the numerical analysis is an experimental verification of enhanced fatigue behavior. Changes in interfacial geometry are conceived, and their effectiveness in reducing stress concentrations are determined. A doubling of fatigue strength can be achieved for newly conceived geometries over conventional porous coating geometries.
