摘要
The aims of this study were to investigate how the dimples on a metallic counterface affect the wear rate of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in a multi-directional reciprocating pin-on-plate machine. The plates were high nitrogen stainless steel, representing the femoral head material. The pins used in this study were of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene GUR 1120, which represents the material used in an acetabular cup. Three different cases were investigated: a smooth surface without dimples as a reference case, a surface with medium dimples with an average valley of 2.3 mu m and a surface with large dimples with an average valley of 5.9 mu m. It was found that all the dimples investigated did not improve the lubrication, but instead increased the surface roughness; consequently, the wear of UHWMPE was slightly increased.
