Tribological Characteristics of Titanium after Combined Treatment
摘要
The combined treatment which includes thermodiffusion saturation with interstitial elements (oxygen and nitrogen) and electrospark alloying with a graphite electrode was studied. The influence of near-surface hardening and the sequence of combined treatment steps on the phase composition, structure, surface microhardness, and tribological characteristics of coatings deposited on commercially pure titanium in tribo-pairs with steel was evaluated.
