The endoprostheses made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloys belong to the group of the most popular metallic implants used for hip joints reconstruction. For such biomaterials, the primary goal is correct and long-term functioning in the aggressive environment of body fluids. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine both the morphology and the corrosion resistance of implants made of the cobalt alloy used in Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) system (Smith & Nephew). For comparative purposes, the electrochemical studies were done for the nitrided stainless steel – Orthinox. Methods: Observations of the microstructure of the investigated material were performed by means of the optical metallographic microscope and the scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy was used to analyse the chemical composition of the endoprosthesis. Characterisation and evaluation of electrochemical corrosion resistance of the selected alloys were performed by potentiodynamic polarisation tests. Results: The structural studies confirmed that Co-Cr-Mo (BHR system) is characterised by a typical dendritic microstructure with carbide precipitates, mainly M23C6, within the interdendritic areas. Results of the polarisation measurements showed that the investigated cobalt alloy exhibits lower corrosion potential than Orthinox in the utilised environments (3% NaCl, simulated body fluid – Hank’s Body Fluid). Conclusions: However, the high passivation ability of the Co-Cr-Mo alloy, as well as its resistance to the initiation and propagation of localised corrosion processes, indicate that this material is significantly more appropriate for long-term implants.

The intended purpose of metallised nonwovens is architectural shielding against electromagnetic fields. Therefore the aim of this work was to systematically investigate the corrosion behaviour of metallic layer/polypropylene nonwoven systems in the contact with an aggressive environment (3% NaCl solution). In the work, a thermo-bonded polypropylene nonwoven was used as a substrate for CuSn and CuNiZn thin layer deposition. Nonwoven metallisation was carried out using the magnetron sputtering process. Additionally to enhance the durability of these barrier materials, their surfaces were covered with a thin, hydrophobic coating of polydimetylsiloksane. Evaluation of the corrosion resistance was made by means of potentiodynamic polarisation tests. Furthermore the degree of loss of the metallic layers was checked using a optical metallographic microscope and quantitative microanalysis by the method of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. It was found that the CuZnNi metallic layer deposited onto the polypropylene nonwoven shows higher corrosion resistance as compared to CuSn. In both cases, the metallic layers are the most susceptible to degradation within the nonwoven “waves”. Regardless of the layers’ chemical composition, the polydimetylsiloksane coating increases their corrosion resistance in 3% NaCl solution.

W ramach pracy, jako podłoże dla cienkich warstw metalicznych CuSn i CuNiZn wykorzystana została włóknina polipropylenowa. Metalizację włókniny przeprowadzono stosując proces rozpylania magnetronowego. Zakłada się, że przeznaczeniem tak uzyskanych metalizowanych włóknin będzie ekranowanie architektoniczne przed polami elektromagnetycznymi. Z tego względu, jako cel pracy przyjęto przeprowadzenie systematycznych badań mających na celu określenie sposobu zachowania się układów warstwa metaliczna/ włóknina polipropylenowa w kontakcie z agresywnym środowiskiem korozyjnym (3% roztwórem NaCl). Dodatkowo, aby zwiększyć trwałość uzyskanych materiałów barierowych, ich powierzchnie pokryto cienką hydrofobową powłoką poli(dimetylosiloksanu). Ocena odporności korozyjnej przeprowadzona została za pomocą polaryzacyjnych testów potencjodynamicznych. Ponadto, stopień degradacji warstw metalicznych sprawdzano z wykorzystaniem optycznego mikroskopu metalograficznego oraz ilościowej mikroanalizy rentgenowskiej (EDX).
