3D-printed Ti6Al4V femoral component of knee: Improvements in wear and biological properties by AIP TiN and TiCrN coating

As patients are dissatisfied with the excessive weight of Co-based knee femoral components, it is an urgent need to reduce their weight without compromising the excellent mechanical properties. In the present study, femoral components of knee with Ti6Al4V alloy (86 g) or Co–Cr alloy (192 g) were pri...
