Wear behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloys by Yan, Lina

“…For example, since mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs are close to those of cortical bones, NiTi SMA based implants such as joint replacements, bone plates, and spine fracture fixations were developed. However, complex wear modes on the surface may cause undesired reactions from neighboring tissues, leading to a serious inflammation of the human body. …”
