The present study aims at enhancing the wear resistance of Ti–6Al–4V by laser surface nitriding. Laser surface treatment has been carried out by melting of the sand blasted Ti–6Al–4V substrate using a high power continuous wave Diode laser with nitrogen as shrouding environment (at a gas...

The present study aims at enhancing the wear resistance and biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V by forming a thin layer of oxide. Surface oxidation has been carried out by controlled heating of the surface of Ti-6Al-4V substrate in air at the temperature ranging from 400–600°C and time from 25–60...
