Hydrogen induced surface cracking of two orthopedic implant alloys

Electrolytic charging of hydrogen, at room temperature and in the absence of externally applied stress, induced surface cracking in 316 stainless steel and cobalt based ZIMALOY. Hot Isostatic Pressed (H.I.P.) ZIMALOY showed less susceptibility to surface cracking than 316 stainless steel samples. Th...
