Abstract:
It is well known that the introduction of zirconia into the alumina matrix has a positive effect on bending strength of the material, and especially on toughness which is the main limit of alumina ceramics. While the many attempts made in the past to develop alumina matrix composites suitable for biomedical applications containing zirconia as a toughening phase (Zirconia Toughened Alumina – ZTA) did not leave the developmental stage, recently ball heads and inlays for THR bearings made out a three phase alumina matrix composite were introduced into the market.

Abstract:
Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) currently represents the bioceramic gold standard for load-bearing components in artificial hip joints. ZTA is long known for its high flexural strength and fracture toughness, both properties arising from a microscopic crack-tip shielding mechanism due to the stress-induced tetragonal-to-monoclinic (t→m) polymorphic transformation of zirconia. However, there have been concerns over the years regarding the long-term structural performance of ZTA since the t→m transformation also spontaneously occurs at the material’s surface under low-temperature environmental

The JMM-ZTA, a kind of zirconia-toughened alumina, is a bearing ceramic newly developed for artificial joints. Although it has already been reported that mechanical strength and fracture toughness are higher in the JMM-ZTA than in alumina, the stability of the JMM-ZTA has not been studied in detail yet. In the present study, the stability of the JMM-ZTA with respect to mechanical strength and crystalline phases was examined under hydrothermal environment, and the results were compared with those of alumina.

Abstract:
A new zirconia-toughened alumina ceramic (JMM-ZTA) for a ceramic-on-ceramic hip replacement has been developed. The JMM-ZTA has a fracture toughness superior to zirconia, and the JMM-ZTA/JMM-ZTA combination has superior wear-resistant performance to alumina/alumina. Moreover, the JMM-ZTA shows an excellent crystalline phase stability. Therefore, the JMM-ZTA is believed to be useful for artificial hip prostheses.

Abstract:
The natural hip joint in healthy people has a very low friction with very little (or no) wear. It works as a dynamically loaded bearing and is subjected to about 1-2 million cycles of loading per year. The applied load is the body weight which is tripled when walking and even higher during other activities such as running and jumping. Unfortunately these joints are not always healthy due to various causes such as fractures or disease leading to severe pain which necessitates joint replacement. Currently, the orthopaedic industries are working towards developing an ideal artificial hip joint wi

Total hip joint prostheses made of CoCrMo heads versus ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) cups have a limited lifetime, mainly due to the wear of the UHMWPE cups as a result of high friction between the articulating surfaces leading to osteolysis and implant loosening with revision surgery becoming inevitable in more active patients. Tribology plays an important role in developing the design, minimizing wear and reducing friction of hip joint prostheses in order to improve their long-term performance, with good lubricating properties.

Particulate enhanced oxide ceramics are an attractive class of materials for high temperature applications because they possess many of the high temperature capabilities of monolithic ceramics but also have enhanced mechanical properties due to their multi-phase structure. High temperature structural ceramics have the potential to operate above at higher temperatures than current super alloys; however, processing costs and lack of reliability has prevented their commercialization.

The improvement of bulk ceramic properties through the addition of a secondary or even tertiary phase is a field of research that has been actively pursued since the mid twentieth century.

Improving the properties of these ceramic coatings and tiles has the potential of reducing catastrophic damage events leading to an overall reduction in unplanned maintence and downtime.
