Friction of Titanium Surfaces in Implantology
 Heto, Matyáš ; Odehnal, Lukáš (referee) ; Ranuša, Matúš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the frictional properties and wear resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy. This alloy is suitable for use in orthopaedic implants such as the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint in the big toe. The aim is to investigate different surface treatment methods that can reduce friction and wear of this material. The effect of applying DLC coatings and creating microtextures or microstructures on the surface is described. Metal on metal pair tests have been carried out using profilometer and tribometer in pin on plate configuration. The results show a noticeably higher coefficient of friction for the Ti6Al4V alloy than for the compared CoCrMo alloy. DLC coating significantly helped in reducing the friction and wear of Ti6Al4V. This cannot be said for the two microstructures tested, which did not have a significant effect on the observed tribological properties. The results indicate the importance of surface treatment of Ti6Al4V alloy for use in implants.
