AbstractThe authors report on the results of surface treatment experiments using a solid-state amplified laser source emitting laser pulses with a pulse duration of 10 ps. The laser source allows the generation of pulse trains (bursts) with an intra-burst pulse repetition rate of 80 MHz (pulse-to-pulse time interval about 12.5 ns) with up to eight pulses per burst. In this study a wavelength of 1064 nm was used to investigate both ablation of material and laser-induced surface modifications occuring in metallic implant alloys CoCrMo (cobalt-chromium-molybdenum) and TiAlV (titanium-aluminum-vanadium) in dependence of the number of pulses and fluences per pulse in the burst. By using the burst mode, a smoothing effect occurs in a certain parameter range, resulting in very low surface roughness of the generated microstructures. It is demonstrated that at fluences per pulse which are smaller than the material-specific ablation threshold, a self-organized pore formation takes place if a defined number of pulses per burst is used. Thus, the advantage of the MHz burst mode in terms of a possible surface modification is established.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively investigate the peri-implant histology of applying defect-size polyether ether ketone (PEEK) implant for the treatment of localized osteochondral defects in the femoral head and compared it with cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy implant.Methods: A femoral head osteochondral defect model was created in the left hips of goats (n=12). Defects were randomly treated by immediate placement of a PEEK (n=6) or CoCrMo implant (n=6). The un-operated right hip joints served as a control. Goats were sacrificed at 12 weeks. Periprosthetic cartilage quality was semi-quantitatively analyzed macroscopically and microscopically. Implant osseointegration was measured by micro-CT and histomorphometry.Results: The modified macroscopic articular evaluation score in the PEEK group was lower than that in the CoCrMo group (p<0.05), and the histological score of the periprosthetic and acetabular cartilage in the PEEK group was lower than that in the CoCrMo group (P<0.05). The mean bone-implant contact for PEEK implants was comparable with that for CoCrMo alloy implants at 12 weeks.Conclusions: A PEEK implant for the treatment of local osteochondral defect in the femoral head demonstrated effective fixation and superior in vivo cartilage protection compared with an identical CoCrMo alloy implant.

Their excellent properties, such as corrosion resistance, fatigue strength and bio-compatibility, made Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) were used in total hip and knee replacements and dental devices. The green CoCrMo compacts specimens in rectangle shape were fabricated by powder pressing technique. The effects of sintering temperature and atmosphere on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the CoCrMo compacts which is sintered at 1300°C-1400°C under two different inert gases sintering atmosphere (Ar2/N2H2) were investigated. The experimental results show that the grain boundaries sizes of CoCrMo compact sintered specimen were increased with increasing sintering temperature. The CoCrMo compacts specimens sintered at 1350°C under inert gases N2H2 atmosphere possess highest density (8.096 g/cm3) and hardness (327.1Hv). However, when the compacts specimens are sintered at 1400°C, the density (7.596 g/cm3) and hardness (320 Hv) properties of sintered compact were decreased.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a manufacturing technology of metal parts of any shapes with target mechanical properties by means of laser melting. This paper discusses the effect of SLM parameters: laser output power, laser movement velocity, scanning pitch and preheating temperature of a powdered material on surface formation mechanism, namely, its physical configuration when melting cobalt-chromium-molybdenum powdered material Со28Cr3Mo. The study points at structural differences of melted surfaces even under identical process parameters. Several types of surface formation are identified, e.g. homogenous melt, coagulated particles, and shapeless particles. Vapor pressure, Marangoni effect, and heat effect of a melted powder are stated to be key reasons for rough surface. This research is of high importance for understanding the effect of SLM parameters on formation of a target quality surface, positive stability and repeatable accuracy of the process.
