Methods for prevention of cold welding and/or corrosion between and/or tissue/bone overgrowth on implant components may include obtaining a first medical implant component having a first implant contact surface； obtaining a second medical implant component having a second implant contact surface, the second implant contact surface adapted for placement into contact with the first implant contact surface, the first implant contact surface and the second implant contact surface encompassing all points of contact between the first medical implant component and the second medical implant component； and applying a nonmetallic biocompatible separation coating material having a wax formulation on at least one of the first implant contact surface and the second implant contact surface, the nonmetallic biocompatible separation coating material separates the first implant contact surface from the second implant contact surface at all of the points of contact between the first medical implant component and the second medical implant component. Medical implant for prevention of cold welding, corrosion and tissue overgrowth on medical implant components are also disclosed.
