NEW MATERIALS FOR IMPLANTS OF THE HUMAN HIP JOINT AND TECHNOLOGY OF THEIR MACHINING WITH THE ACHIEVEMENT OF HIGH PRECISION AND QUALITY OF SPHERICAL SURFACES
In view of the fact that the endo-prosthesis heads of human hip-joint are operated in extreme conditions, in respect of load, the selection of corresponding material and also increase of precision and quality of machining of spherical surfaces is rather topical task.
In the submitted work are reviewed the problems connected with definition of the influence degree of orientation of the sapphire crystal on its workability during diamond grinding with a butt of the ring and elaboration of the perspective, original scheme of formation of the incomplete spherical surface, particularly, of the sapphire head of endo-prosthesis of the human hip-joint.
