“…However, its hardness and wear resistance are low, which limits its use. Various processing methods, including severe plastic deformation [16][17][18], thermal oxidation [19][20][21], carburization [22][23][24], nitriding [7,25,26], and boriding [7,27,28], have been proposed to improve its mechanical properties. During the processes of thermal oxidation, carburization, nitriding, and boriding, the atom diffusion behavior in pure titanium plays a key role in achieving good mechanical properties.…”
