“…Until now, many surface treatment techniques have been investigated to enhance the wear resistance of titanium and its alloys, such as plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) [7,8], laser alloying [9,10,11], high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) [12], physical vapor deposition (PVD) [13,14], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [15], carburizing [16,17,18], and aluminizing [19,20,21]. Khorasanian et al [7] and Aliasghari et al [8] found that the PEO coating consisted of rutile and anatase and the non-stoichiometric TiO oxide, which had a very dense structure with no significant crack or porosity, improved the wear resistance of the substrate.…”
