The purpose of this research is to form a layer of alumina on Ti-6Al-4V alloy for hip joint by deposition of Al layer on the Ti alloy and its subsequent oxidation. In this work, a thick layer of Al was deposited onto the Ti alloy by cold spraying. The reaction layer of Al3Ti was formed by heat treatment of cold sprayed Al at 640°C in air/Ar atmosphere to ensure a good adhesion between cold sprayed Al layer and the Ti alloy. A thick Al3Ti layer formed by heat treatment of Al layer at 640°C for 12 h in air, was subjected to heat treatment at 850°C for 96 h in air to form a-alumina and Al2Ti. Thus, alumina scales can be formed on the top surface of the Ti alloy and can be densified by increasing the time duration of heat treatment.
