Titanium and titanium alloys possess some attractive properties, such as excellent corrosion and erosion resistance, low densities, high specific strength and modulus, enabling them extensively used in aeronautical, marine, chemical and biomedical applications and so on. Nevertheless, Recent years, the corrosion resistance of titanium and titanium alloys is required to elevate in some fields, proper surface modification such as surface oxidation can solve the problems effectively. In this paper, the recent investigations of thermal oxidation and micro-arc oxidation to improve the corrosion resistant of titanium and its alloys are reviewed. The structures, properties and their influence factors of the coatings are analysed systematically. And the existing problems and the future prospect of the further researches is mentioned.

The titanium alloys are used in aeronautical applications (up to 75% of titanium alloys), reinforcements, biomedical applications, army industry, because of a high traction resistance, low weight, excellent corrosion resistance and capacity to resist at extreme temperatures. However, some titanium applications are restricted by the small hardness, high friction coefficient and low usage resistance. The paper shows the experimental researches made on Ti-6Al-4V alloy, subjected to quenching and tempering heat treatments. The hardening heat treatment of titanium alloys with α+β structure consists in stabilization phenomenon of β solid solution dissolved in α’ and α’’ metastable phase. After quenching and tempering heat treatments, are obtained good mechanical properties in biphasic alloys, maintaining the plasticity characteristics in reasonable limits. The efficiency evaluation of heat treatments was realized through micro-hardness measurement and structure analyses on electronic microscope.

The need for metallic biomaterials will always remain high with their growing demand in joint replacement in the aging population. This creates need for the market and researchers to focus on the development and advancement of the biometals. Desirable characteristics such as excellent biocompatibility, high strength, comparable elastic modulus with bones, good corrosion resistance, and high wear resistance are the significant issues to address for medical implants, particularly load-bearing orthopedic implants. The widespread use of titanium alloys in biomedical implants create a big demand to identify and assess the behavior and performance of these alloys when used in the human body. Being the most commonly used metal alloy in the fabrication of medical implants, mainly because of its good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance together with its high strength to weight ratio, the tribological behavior of these alloys have always been an important subject for study. Titanium alloys with improved wear resistance will of course enhance the longevity of implants in the body. In this paper, tribological performance of titanium alloys (medical grades) is reviewed. Various methods of surface modifications employed for titanium alloys are also discussed in the context of wear behavior.
