Zusammenfassung: | A method for coating an orthopedic implant made of a titanium or titanium alloy substrate with a cobalt-chrome molybdenum alloy uses multi-arc physical vapor deposition (MA-PVD). The substrate has a first bearing surface coated with a coating made of the deposited cobalt-chromium molybdenum alloy. The bearing surface slidably receives a second bearing surface of the prosthetic joint component. The MA-PVD cobalt-chromium molybdenum alloy coating forming the first bearing surface is made up of hexagonal close packed (HCP) grains having a columnar structure with a length of about 1 μm and a width of about 0.1 μm with the length of each HCP grains being oriented generally perpendicular to the titanium substrate bearing surface. |
