Titanium alloys are characterised by poor tribological properties, and a ceramic TiO2 layer
formed on the surface can greatly improve its performance. By pre-depositing a gold layer …

Introduction Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory process around dental implants that is
characterised by bone loss that may jeopardize the long-term survival of osseo integrated …

For the first time, we discovered the exceptional oxidation phenomenon on Ti6Al4V alloy. A
thin layer of silver was pre-deposited via PVD on a Ti6Al4V alloy surface before ceramic …

In this paper, the Ti6Al4V alloy surface was modified via ceramic conversion treatment
(CCT) with or without a pre-deposited silver layer. After characterizing the surface …

Ceramic conversion treatment (CCT) is an effective way to modify the surface of titanium
alloys. However, this process normally needs more than a 100-h treatment at 600–700° C to …

In this study, powder metallurgy was applied in a furnace atmosphere to form titanium boride
layers on a commercially pure Ti surface. Experiments were carried out using the solid-state …

Titanium is characterized by poor wear resistance which restricts its application. Ceramic
conversion treatment (CCT) is used to modify the surface; however, it is a time-consuming …

Zr and its alloys are widely used in multiple areas, including the nuclear and medical fields.
Previous studies indicate that a ceramic conversion treatment (C2T) of Zr-based alloys can …

Due to their attractive properties, Zr and its alloys are widely used in some industrial sectors
including nuclear equipment and medical devices. However, their low hardness, high friction …
