The diseases such as osteoporosis‚ osteoarthritis‚ bone tumour and trauma are the reasons for joint replacements in population over 50 years of age in developed countries. The Total Hip Replacement (THR) is an excellent alternative for patients suffering from joint failure caused by osteoarthritis. The historical failure of artificial implant restorative procedure has been due to the wear of components with subsequent bone resorption

study the Microstructual influence on fracture resistance in 7000 seriers aluminium alloys. Fracture toughness is an indication of the resistance of a material to physical separation by a process of unstable macrocrack propagation. The microstructural features such as coarse particles of intermetallic (IM) phases‚ dispersoids‚ inter- and intragranular precipitates‚ precipitate-free zones ‚ grain size and orientation are known to exert significant effects on fracture resistance.So this paper focusses
