The present study aims at enhancing the wear resistance and biocompatibility of Ti -6 Al -4 V by forming a thin layer of oxide. Surface oxidation has been carried out by controlled heating of the surface of Ti -6 Al -4 V substrate in air at the temperature ranging from 400–600°C and time from 25–60 h. The phase formed under thermal oxidation was predominantly the rutile and anatase phase. The thickness of the oxide layer varied from 1.5–7.0 μm. The microhardness on the surface was significantly improved as compared to the as-received substrate. Both the corrosion resistance property and biocompatibility were improved.

A Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been widely used as suitable materials for several of application such as aerospace, marine and biomedical application. Although this alloy is excellent in its properties and good corrosion resistance, the applications are limited because of their poor tribological property referring to the wear resistance property due to their low surface hardness. Therefore, it is inevitable to improve the wear properties of Ti-6Al-4V without detrimental the initial corrosion resistance properties even increasing it for better result. Over the years, various methods of surface treatments for Ti-6Al-4V have been studied and most frequently used are laser treatment, plasma nitriding process, PVD coating and also duplex coating. For each of the surface treatment discussed, several type of corrosion behavior have been studied with the conclusion is comparable to each other. In general, throughout these techniques, the wear resistance property of Ti-6Al-4V was improved and simultaneously improving the corrosion resistance property.

By vacuum fusion sintering technique made different CeO2 addition Ni-WC composite coatings on 45 steel. Hardness, wear resistance property and corrosion resistance property of the Rare-earth Ni-WC composite coatings were measured and analyzed by Rockwell hardness tester,micro-hardness tester, friction wear testing machine and Salt spray corrosion box. The results showed that:The CeO2 content comes up to 0.75% of the coatings` hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance property better than those of other coatings.

The polyurea was modified by adding different amounts of nanometer ZnO. The corrosion behavior of polyurea/primer composite coating system in wet-dry cyclic environment of 3.5% NaCl solution was studied by using the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement and adhesion test technology. The experimental result showed that, different mass fractions of nanometer ZnO had different influences on the corrosion resistance property of coating. When the mass fraction of nanometer ZnO was 5%, the composite coating had the largest protective action. The corrosion resistance property of nanometer ZnO can be improved by increasing the density of polyurea coating, however, the corrosion resistance property of polyurea coating will be weakened in case of exceeding the critical adding amount.

AbstractTitanium (Ti) and its alloys have been extensively applied in various fields of chemical industry, marine, aerospace and biomedical devices because of a specific combination of properties such as high strength to weight ratio, exceptional corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility. However, friction and wear, corrosion which usually occur on the surfaces of Ti-base components can lead to degradation in both properties and performance. Thermal oxidation (TO) of titanium and its alloys under certain conditions can accomplish significant improvements both in wear resistance and corrosion resistance, without special requirements for substrate geometries. In this review, the studies and applications of TO process in surface damage mitigation titanium and its alloys were reviewed and summarized.

<p>This paper discusses issues of growth of a thin oxide layer formed on the surface of titanium alloys. The oxide layer on the surface introduces a corrosion resistance and a bio-compatibility, both of which are required for medical applications. The oxide layer is a result of a spontaneous passivation, but for the practical applications it is necessary to control the growth of oxides. In present work, the oxide layer was formed on the CP Ti grade 2, Ti39Nb alloy and CP Ti grade 2 with Ti39Nb PVD coating of two different thicknesses by a thermal oxidation at 600 °C for 8 hours. After the oxidation process the oxide layer was observed by SEM.</p>
