Design and Fabrication of Fatigue Corrosion Machine
Static and Dynamic analysis of the biomedical implants and fixators has been tested using the fatigue - corrosion machine . Millions of patients all over the world undergo surgery for implants and orthopedic fixator’s .These implants and fixators undergo fatigue [1] and corrosion in human body due to body fluids .Corrosion reduces the strength of the implants and the debris gets dissolved in the blood leading to further medical complications like kidney failure on patients. fatigue occurs on the implants and fixators due to repeated loading and unloading .when corrosion is combined with fatigue the strength of the material reduces to 10% [5]of its actual strength and also may lead to catastrophic failure of the implants and Fixators .Due to this several tones of 316L Stainless Steel implant metals are wasted ,even though Stainless Steel is reproducible , it will have adverse effect on the environment , with the depletion of natural resources ,this will lead to scarcity of material for the future population .A fatigue corrosion machine was designed and fabricated ,the results showed fatigue corrosion taking place in the implants ,this paper recommends the possibilities of new implant metals like 304SS[12] and fabrication technologies such as surface modifications , which has sustainability and less effect on environment.
