Wear characteristics of titanium and its alloy TI-6AL-4V

Titanium and its alloy have been widely exploited in the aerospace industry and medical field due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. However, its poor wear mechanical properties have set many researches and articles to focus on enhancing its surface properties l...
