Surface Integrity of Ti6Al4V Alloy under Dry Sliding Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present paper is aimed to investigate the evolution of the surface integrity of Ti6Al4V alloy under reciprocating sliding in contact with bearing steel and ceramic balls (Al2O3). The evolution of the surface integrity states is characterized by the evolution of the surface topography and 3D roughness parameters with the applied normal load. The tribological characteristics (coefficient of friction and weight loss) are also presented for the two contact pairs used in this study. This study has proved that Ti6Al4V/Al2O3 contact pair can be used in applications were the applied load is variable.
