Abstract

We study the corrosion-fatigue crack-growth resistance of 08H18N10T steel in a RISLT biological solution simulating the medium of human muscular tissues. A procedure of numerical calculation is proposed and the optimal dimensions of an endoprosthesis of a hip joint in the most stressed dangerous section are determined. It is shown that 08H18N10T steel can be used as a material for orthopedic implants.
