ArmorCoat™

Hardness and Roughness

• In a standard pin on disc wear test, ArmorCoat™ pincs produced 40% less wear than standard CoCr pins articulating with standard polyethylene.
• ArmorCoat™ components are measured at a roughness of less than .05 µm, which is approximately half the roughness of uncoated CoCr components.
• ArmorCoat™ is 4 to 5 times harder than conventional CoCr and is twice as hard as Smith and Nephew’s OXINIUM.™ Surface hardness is correlated with abrasion resistance and stiffness
