In this paper, the effects of anodizing temperature on the microstructure, composition and surface profile of Ti6Al4V were systematically investigated. Apparent shear strengths of the anodized alloy bonded with epoxy were measured and the fracture mechanisms were analyzed. With increasing anodizing...
