Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method uses a Taber Abraser with H-22Calibrade (trademarked) wheels2and the 250-g mass of theabrading head without added weights. A specimen is

9、 abradedusing rotary rubbing action under controlled conditions ofpressure and abrasive action. The test specimen, mounted on aturntable platform, turns on a vertical axis against the slidingrotation of two abrading wheels. One abrading wheel rubs thespecimen outward toward the periphery and the oth

10、er inwardtoward the center. The resulting abrasion marks form a patternof crossed arcs over an area of approximately 30 cm2.Specimens are abraded repeatedly and cleaned ultrasonicallyfor a set number (2 to 100) of rotational cycles. The specimensare weighed after each cleaning, and the mass loss is

Suchparticle shedding might occur during surgical insertion of animplant or as the result of micromotion of the implant

20、greater than 0.64-cm thickness, with a 0.64-cm diameter holethrough the center to allow the specimen to fit on the specimentable screw of the Taber Abraser. For substrates other thantitanium, consideration shall be given to the weight of the testspecimen relative to the capacity of the analytical ba

21、lance.NOTE 1For specimens thicker than 0.64-cm but less than 1.27-cm, anextension nut such as type S-212or equivalent may be used in place of theclamp nut.

22、a manner representativeof that used on the finished surgical implant.7.3 A minimum of six samples for each coating shall beprepared. At least one set shall contain seven samples.7.4 One specimen, randomly selected, from each group ofsix specimens shall be reserved to measure weight loss causedby ult

This specimen shall be called the“blank” specimen and shall be weighed, cleaned, and re-weighed for an equal number of times to the cleaning andweighing of the abraded specimen.7.5 Of the seven sample set, one sample shall be selected todetermine the time required for ultrasonic cl

24、eaning.8. Procedure8.1 General Information:8.1.1 If there is more than one set of specimens to test, thespecimens shall be tested in a random sequence.8.1.2 A single complete specimen run shall consist of aseries of partial runs, commencing with an initial two-cyclepartial run and continuing until 1

25、00 cycles have been com-pleted. Once a specimen run is initiated, no other specimensshall be tested using the same wheel until the specimen run isfinished.8.1.3 At the start of each new complete specimen run, thedisplay indicating the number of cycles run shall be reset. TheTaber Abraser counts cumu

26、lative cycles (cycles completed)and so the number of cycles set for each partial run shall be thecumulative number of cycles (2, 5, 10, or 100) designated asthe end of that partial run.8.2 Ultrasonic CleaningBefore running the battery oftests, the time required for ultrasonic cleaning shall be deter

27、-mined.8.2.1 Using the analytical balance, weigh the seventhsample as described in 7.5 no fewer than three times and recordthe average weight of these measurements.8.2.2 Prepare the Taber Abraser following steps 8.4.2 to8.4.9.8.2.3 Set the Taber Abraser for ten cumulative cycles andstart the turntab

28、le.8.2.4 Clean the sample for ten minutes with a fresh salinesolution (see 8.4.1), with the ultrasonic cleaner to be used forthe coating analysis.8.2.5 Place the cleaned sample in a 100C oven and dry for10 min.8.2.6 Allow the sample to cool to room temperature beforeweighing.8.2.7 Using the analytic

29、al balance, weigh the sample nofewer than three times and record the average weight of thesemeasurements.8.2.8 Repeat 8.2.4 to 8.2.7 until the same mass (withinbalance error) is recorded for two consecutive cleanings.8.2.9 Record the total number of cleanings performed in8.2.4 to 8.2.8.8.2.10 Determ

31、lank” specimen, as specified in7.4. Once in every six tests, an unabraded specimen shall beused as a control to determine the weight loss caused by theultrasonic cleaning. This specimen shall be weighed, cleaned,and reweighed for as many times as would normally be done ifabrasion testing were being

32、performed. These values shall belogged as “blank” weight loss values.8.4 Operation:8.4.1 Prepare a fresh cleaning solution for the ultrasoniccleaner by adding 0.1 6 0.005 g of reagent grade NaCl to eachlitre of deionized water8.4.2 Resurface the abrading wheels using the Taber WheelRefacer Model 250

33、 for each new specimen. Check the radius ofthe wheel. It is essential that the radius of the abrading wheelsnot fall below the marked minimum level over the course of thetest. Should the wheel radius fall below the labeled mark, thetest run shall be discarded and a new specimen shall be run inits pl

This solutionshall be changed to a fresh solution before the first cleaningdone that day.8.4.5.1 Place the cleaned specimen in

36、a 100C oven for 10min to dry.8.4.5.2 Allow the specimen to cool to room temperaturebefore weighing.8.4.5.3 Using the analytical balance, weigh the specimen nofewer than three times, and record the average of these weightmeasurements on a data sheet.8.4.6 Place the specimen on the Taber Abraser turnt

Precision and Bias1

46、1.1 An interlaboratory study (ILS) was conducted to es-tablish the precision and bias of this test method. The numberof laboratories, materials, and determinations in this study meetthe minimum requirements for determining precision as pre-scribed in Practice E691 (see Table 1). These tests were don

47、efor 2, 5, 10, and 100 cycles for a total of 12 material and cyclecombinations.11.2 PrecisionPrecision, characterized by repeatability,Sr, and reproducibility, SR, have been determined for thematerials and cycle combinations provided in Table 2.12.

Exces-sive weight loss, however, is undesirable, as it may lead to thirdbody wear of articulating surfaces.X1.2 Although the use of sprayed flat specimens and theTaber Abraser do not mimic the effect of bone and daily usage,this test method has been shown to be a reliable measure of theaverage wear/abrasion resistance of a thermal spray coating.X1.3 Measurements are taken at 2, 5, 10, and 100 cycles. Aminimum of two cycles was chosen to ensure that the turntableof the Taber Abraser makes at least one complete rotationbefore any abrasion weight loss
