Abstract :
Engineers, biologists and surgeons face a special task when they design procedures, components and systems to replace damaged tissues beyond any limits, caused by disease or trauma. This paper studies the tribological behavior of a new titanium alloy, Ti12Mo that can be used in the future for joint implants.
