Corrosion fatigue in DLC-coated articulating implants: an accelerated methodology to predict realistic interface lifetime

We present a methodology to accelerate and estimate the lifetime of an interlayer under dynamic loading in body-like media. It is based on accelerating corrosion fatigue processes taking place at the buried interface of a Si-based adhesion-promoting interlayer in articulating implants on a CoCrMo bi...
