Heat maps of an MDM liner taper surface illustrating isolated local damage scars (patient 5). Total volume loss for the liner was calculated by adding volume losses from the localized areas. Material loss for this liner was 0.37 mm3. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images (right) within the indicated damage scar demonstrates the presence of local pitting corrosion and etching (chemically induced damage modes).
