Sliding wear resistance of oxide layers formed on a titanium surface during thermal oxidation

A comparative study of the mechanical behaviour of thermally oxidised commercially pure titanium and zirconium

“…2 shows the cross-sections of the thermally oxidised (TO) Ti and Zr specimens and Table 1 summarises the characteristics of the untreated and TO specimens. In consistency with the observations of other investigators (Aniolek et al, 2016;Leto et al, 2014), TO produced a dark oxide layer (OL) at the surface and an oxygen diffusion zone (ODZ) at the subsurface of both materials (Fig. 2).…”

“…This TO condition was chosen based on many preliminary experiments and previous work, which can produce an adherent oxide layer at the surface and an oxygen diffusion zone in the subsurface of CP-Ti and Ti alloys (Sun et al, 2016;Aniolek et al, 2016;Bailey and Sun, 2013) and in CP-Zr and Zr alloys (Pawar et al, 2011;Alansari and Sun, 2017). This condition also ensured that no phase transformation took place in the core of the CP materials because the oxidation temperature was below the - transformation temperatures.…”

Electroless Ni–B Coating of Pure Titanium Surface for Enhanced Tribocorrosion Performance in Artificial Saliva and Antibacterial Activity

“…Thus, numerous strategies focusing on the surface modification of Ti alloys have been employed to render them protection from both wear, corrosion and even tribocorrosion [3][4][5]. The strategies include physical vapour deposition [6], thermal spray [6,7], ion or laser nitriding [8][9][10], thermal oxidation [11,12], micro-arc oxidation [13][14][15], diffusion [16] and anodic oxidation treatments [17]. On the other hand, the antibacterial properties are also necessary for Ti implant RESEARCH when exposed to the living tissue [18].…”

Influence of Isothermal Oxidation on Corrosion Resistance of Titanium in Bovine Serum

“…Shankar et al [21] reported the oxide layer that obtains by oxidation treatment on cp-Titanium are a protective rutile TiO2 layer which responsible for the enhancement of corrosion resistance. Its also increases the surface hardness and resistance to wear [22]. Fig.…”
