Surface Engineering for Medical Applications
Wednesday, 18th June 2008 commencing 9.30 for 10.00 am
TWI Technology Centre (Yorkshire) Ltd, Wallis Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham, S60 5TZ
The medical industry is increasingly employing surface engineering to improve the properties and performance of medical and dental implants and other medical products. The range of coatings and surface techniques employed includes anodising, PVD, CVD and thermal spraying to produce coatings for a variety of applications such as wear resistance, encouraging bone growth (osseointegration), corrosion protection, identification and protection of medical devices.
The aim of this conference is to highlight the range of surface engineering and coating technologies that can be employed in the medical sector and bring together industrialists and academics from both the medical and surface engineering sectors to facilitate greater awareness of surface engineering for medical applications.
The conference will include presentations on the use of coatings and surface engineering in medicine, surface engineering for reducing wear in orthopaedic implants, thermal spraying for orthopaedic applications, PVD, plasma electrolytic oxidation and cold spraying.
There will also be a presentation on the Yorkshire Surface Engineering Group and the support available for companies through this regionally funded programme.
The day also includes a tour of TWI Yorkshire incorporating TWI’s new cold spraying facility.
