title = "The effect of Cu content on corrosion, wear and tribocorrosion resistance of Ti-Mo-Cu alloy for load-bearing bone implants",
abstract = "In this study, the effects of Cu content on wear, corrosion, and tribocorrosion resistance of Ti-10Mo-xCu alloy were investigated. Results revealed that hardness of Ti-10Mo-xCu alloy increased from 355.1 ± 15.2 HV to 390.8 ± 17.6 HV by increasing Cu content from 0 % to 5 %, much higher than CP Ti (106.6 ± 15.1 HV) and comparable to Ti64 (389.7 ± 13.9 HV). With a higher Cu content, wear and tribocorrosion resistance of Ti-10Mo-xCu alloys were enhanced, and corrosion resistance showed an initial increase with a subsequent decrease. Wear mechanisms under pure mechanical wear and tribocorrosion conditions of Ti-10Mo-xCu alloys were a combination of delamination, abrasion and adhesion wear.",
