Abstract

- A modified pin-on-disc machine was used for the tribological investigation of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding on stainless steel or stainless steel coated with diamond-like carbon, titanium nitride or Micronite. Micronite is a new type of coating applied by a physical vapour deposition technique combined with a very low friction coating material giving improved tribological properties. The tribological parameters used were chosen to mimic the conditions prevailing in the human body. The wear debris and the counter-surfaces were analysed. The surface analysis showed that the coating changed the roughness of the counter-surfaces. The diamond-like carbon and Micronite coatings had a much higher surface roughness than the titanium nitride coating. The results indicated that the enhanced tribological behaviour of the Micronite/UHMWPE sliding pair might be used as a material combination in artificial joints. Further studies are however required in order to support this.
