Cobalt chrome molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy has been routinely used in load bearing implants due to the biocompatibility, excellent strength and toughness, and high resistance to wear and corrosion. However, the implants possess high stiffness (220 GPa) compare to human bone (1-30 GPa). The difference...
