Abstract :
The author points out the improvement of tribological behaviour of a Co-Cr-Mo alloy surface modified with a nanocrystalline diamond layer by RF-PCVD. With this surface treatment it is possible to decrease the friction coefficient and wear rate of the implant alloy in respect to untreated material.
