Driving electrochemical corrosion of implanted CoCrMo metal via oscillatory electric fields without mechanical wear

Moreover, this manuscript serves as an initial investigation into the potential interaction between implanted CoCrMo metal alloy and low amplitude electrical oscillation, similar in magnitude to those which may develop from ambient electromagnetic radiation. It is believed that introduction of such an electrical oscillation may be able to initiate electrochemical reactions between the metal and surrounding fluid, forming the precursor to secondary wear particles, without mechanically eroding the metal’s natural passivation layer. Here, we show that a low magnitude electrical oscillation (=?200 mV) in the megahertz frequency (106 Hz) range is capable of initiating corrosion on implanted CoCrMo without the addition of mechanical wear.

I.E. man-made and natural radiation sources cause metal implants to corrode at a faster rate releasing greater amounts of metal ions into the bloodstream, that due to it being inert, accumulate in the bodies tissue & organs as shown in the image linked below. Silicon Nitride coating or implant significantly reduces or eliminates this process.
