Initiation of fretting fatigue scar of Ti-6Al-4V alloy dependent on the influence of its surface roughness

This paper reports on the experimental studies undertaken to detect the early stage when appears the fretting wear of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy used for the hip prostheses. Wear is a critical aspect for estimating the fretting fatigue. Studies were performed on special shape samples, in order to be able t...
