heal.abstract	Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is an engineering material that is very frequently used in the food industry and as artificial joint material for the fabrication of cup in ball-socket arthroplasty. In the present work, an attempt was made to study the tribological behavior and the associated wear mechanisms in a pin-on-disk configuration of UHMWPE against alumina and Ti6Al4V under sliding lubricating conditions. In the UHMWPE-alumina combination the disk (polyethylene) wear is higher while in the same time possesses the smoothest variation of coefficient of friction as compared with UHMWPE-Ti6Al4V. © ASM International.	en
