Research on the Structural,Mechanical and Corrosion Tribological Properties of CoCrMo and CoCrMoW Alloys in Calf Serum Solution
In order to clarify the corrosion friction behavior and corrosion wear resistance mechanism of CoCrMo and CoCrMoW alloys in calf serum solution,CoCrMo and CoCrMoW alloys were prepared using the vacuum melting technique,and the microstructure,mechanical and cor-rosion tribological properties of the two alloys were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy( SEM),energy-dispersive spectrosco-py( EDS),transmission electron microscope( TEM),X-ray diffraction( XRD),compression mechanical performance experiments and corro-sion wear tests. Results showed that the two alloys were composed of γ-Co and ε-Co,and the microstructure was dominated by equiaxial crys-tals. CoCrMo alloy exhibited excellent compressive mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance in calf serum solution,while pitting cor-rosion occurred in the CoCrMoW alloy. The two alloys showed good corrosion tribological properties in calf serum solution,with friction coeffi-cients and wear rates of 0.11~0.21 and 1.01×10-6~2.46×10-6 mm3/(N·m),respectively. The friction coefficients of the two alloys de-creased with the increase in load and frequency,and the stability of real-time friction coefficients increased. At low loads,the corrosive wear resistance of the alloys increased with frequency,and their wear mechanisms were dominated by abrasive wear. At high loads,the wear rate of the alloys increased with frequency,and abrasive wear and corrosive wear coexisted. Overall,the corrosion wear resistance of CoCrMo alloy was better than that of CoCrMoW alloy,which was mainly due to the better compressive mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of CoCrMo alloys.
