TL;DR: In this article, the effects of alloy stoichiometry on the dry sliding wear behavior of B2-structured FeAl were investigated using four different FeAl alloys containing 40, 43, 48, and 50 at.% Al.

TL;DR: Examination of retrieved mobile tibial bearings confirmed that wear of the articular bearing surfaces is consistent with predicted contact conditions; wear is most severe where contact pressure is highest and lubricant film thickness is lowest.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dry sliding pin-on-disk wear test was conducted in air on the nanostructured alloy Fe30Ni20Mn25Al25, which consists of alternating b.c. and B2 phases with interfaces aligned along directions.

TL;DR: The surface gouging observed in this study suggests that bearing damage due to micro-separation and subsequent edge loading is common among all designs of MoM hips and can be an important factor in clinical performance.
