Abstract

Biomedical metallic materials are commonly used in the repair and replacement of human tissues. After the materials are implanted in the human body, the implants can rub against human tissue or other implants, resulting in wear and tear of the implants. The wear and tear of implants in the human body can lead to osteolysis and inflammation, which can affect the longevity of the implant and human health. For the sake of human health and the longevity of implants, it is essential to study the frictional and wear properties of biomedical metallic materials. The present review summarizes the current research on the frictional and wear properties of biomedical metallic materials in recent years, as well as the methods and techniques to improve the frictional and wear properties of the materials. The significance of the present review lies in that it could provide momentus information for further investigation of the tribological properties of biomedical metallic materials.

摘要

生物医用金属材料常用于人体组织的修复和替换。材料植入人体后, 植入物可能会与人体组织或其他植入物发生摩擦, 从而导致植入物的磨损。植入物在人体中的磨损会导致骨溶解和炎症, 从而影响植入物的寿命及人体健康。为了人体的健康和植入物的使用寿命, 研究生物医用金属材料的摩擦磨损性能至关重要。本文综述了近年来生物医用金属材料摩擦磨损性能的研究现状, 以及改善材料摩擦磨损性能的方法和技术。本综述的意义在于它可以为进一步研究生物医用金属材料的摩擦磨损性能提供重要信息。
