Deskripsi
The influence of milling time on the tribological behavior of a Co–Cr–Mo alloy designed for biomedical applications, synthesized via mechanical alloying is investigated. Elemental Co, Cr and Mo powders are milled using different milling times (2, 6, 12 and 18 h) in a high-energy ball mill. The resulting powders were subjected to cold uniaxial and hot isostatic pressing respectively, followed by sintering to obtain cylindrical samples, which were evaluated for their structural, mechanical and the wear behavior. Results showed that the grain and crystallite sizes of the powders decreased with increasing milling time, reaching low values of <10 μm and 32 μm respectively, at higher milling times. Furthermore, the wear rates and the coefficients of friction were lower, at higher milling times due to high densities (96%), and higher elasto-plastic resistance, as presented by the H/E and H3/E2 values of 0.026 and 0.0021 GPa, respectively. Increased milling time enables the refinement of grains and reduction in porosity in the Co–Cr–Mo alloy, which in turn increases the alloy's elasto-plastic resistance and enhances its wear resistance.
