Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present work achieved the evaluation of long-term reliability of metallic biomaterials in simulated body fluids. In order to perform long-term experiments without any degradations of medium, a new experimental setup was developed. As a result, cyclic deformation tests could be carried out up to 2 weeks without the degradation. The results obtained in the tests revealed that the presence of proteins and cells on metallic biomaterials suppressed the metal dissolution during deformation on one hand, but the repassivaiton was hampered by proteins and cells on the other hand. Furthermore, proteins and cells affected not only the metal dissolution and repassivation during deformation but also resulting crack initiation and propagation. Surface modification could suppress the degradation caused by deformation. It was also found that in a current-controlled polarization experiment, the composition and structure of passive films strongly affected cathodic reaction.
