Research Development of the Laser Surface Modification to Improve the Corrosion-Resistance of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in aeronautical, marine, chemical and biomedical applications and so on, owing to their specific properties such as good corrosion resistance, low densities, high specific strength and modulus, and high-temperature resistance. However titanium and titanium alloys also have many disadvantages, such as low hardness, low wear-resistance and the low corrosion-resistance in some cases, which limit their wider application. Recent years, the corrosion resistance of titanium and titanium alloys is required to elevate in some fields. Proper surface modification can solve the problems effectively. This paper reviews the recent investigations of laser surface modification to improve the corrosion resistant of titanium and its alloys. The microstructures, the corrosion resistance properties, and the influence factors of the coatings were discussed systematically. And the future prospect of the further researches and uses is presented.
