A strong, wear- and corrosion-resistant, and antibacterial Co–30 at.% Cr–5 at.% Ag ternary alloy for medical implants
A Co–30 at.% Cr–5 at.% Ag alloy was fabricated using a combination of mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. The microstructure of the alloy consisted of an ultrafine-grained ε-Co solid solution matrix with an average grain size of 167 nm and uniformly dispersed Ag particles with an average...
