Abstract

Ternary phase diagrams of the Co-Cr-Mo system have been calculated from thermodynamic data. It is shown that from such diagrams, intermetallic phase formation which is detrimental to mechanical behaviour, may be predicted. These calculations may be used to provide a thermodynamic basis for surgical implant alloy design.
