Titanium alloy (e.g. Ti-6Al-4V) has an excellent combination of properties. However in many cases, the application is limited because of the poor wear property. In this work, a surface modification (plasma nitriding) is carried out to improve the surface properties of Ti-6Al-4V, as a treatment pri...
