“…The development of advanced ceramic coatings for high-performance Ti alloys is one of the most challenging tasks in modern engineering, however the laser deposition process has produced promising results proving it to be suitable technique for surface modification (Travitzky et al, 2014). Satisfactory glazing of a ceramic composite with minimum cracking was obtained by Sreedhar et al (2001) using a solid state pulsed laser (Sreedhar, Santhanakrishnan, Gokularathnam, & Krishnamurthy, 2001). Years later, Tian et al (2005) concluded that despite evidence of imperfections such as cracks and porosity, surface improvement using laser treatment is still a viable technique for titanium alloys (Tian et al, 2005).…”
