Application of Tantalum Coating on Cobalt-Chromium Alloy Implants
Application of Tantalum Coating on Cobalt-Chromium Alloy Implants Cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo), commonly used in cobalt-chromium alloy medical devices, has good wear resistance, and ion release is one of the defects that cannot be ignored. Therefore, efforts have been made to improve its biocompatibility. Tantalum (Ta) Coating: CoCrMo does not have the osseointegration and properties required for implant survival. In contrast, tantalum is considered an excellent biomedical coating [...]
