Abstract

Femoral heads of different designs were prepared with bio-grade alumina. The samples were prepared by isostatic pressing, turning and subsequent sintering for 2 hrs. at 1550oC, 1600o C, 1650o C. Equivalent bar samples were prepared through identical processing steps and their flexural strength were compared to the static fracture load of the alumina based femoral head. These heads were tested for cyclic fatigue under sinusoidal and walking loads and the results are discussed in the light of their microstructure, physical and mechanical properties.
