Then there are three layers of plating starting with Copper then Silver or Nickel and then the Gold. We use heavy Gold in 24kts. Over the long run the top layer of Gold can start to wear off.

What happens when the installed hip wears ? What will I have to do ?

Answers
You will need another one. To be sure you got a prosthesis that wears the least as possible you need a ceramic on ceramic. But this means NO resurfacing, less possibilities to do everything !! After a resurfacing you still can get a total ceramic on ceramic and with a metal-on-metal (also in resurfacing) the wear is already very low. I have done now 21 revisions (only 5 of my patients!!). The complications are not really much bigger then in a primary.
