Conventional approaches to increasing strength properties of aluminum alloys based on modification of their chemistry by alloying (Cu, Mg, Zn, Si, Li, Ag), and on development of heat treatment and thermomechanical treatment methods are almost exhausted [2], while the use of expensive alloying elements, for example, zirconium or scandium, increases the production cost of such alloys.

Introduction Biomaterials such as stainless steel, Co-Cr alloys and Ti-alloys that are commonly used to produce implants or medical devices have several drawbacks like low strength, poor corrosion and wear resistance, and higher modulus of elasticity compared to the human bone.
Several peaks containing carbides (ZrC, TiC), oxides (CaZrO3, ZrO) and some unknown compounds were noticed.
Various biocompatible and bioactive compounds such as ZrC, CaZrO3, ZrO, TiC and HA were found deposited on the machined BMG surface.

Thermal oxidation treatment is a convenient and environmental friendly technique that can be used to harden the surface of titanium alloys, and hence improve the poor properties of the materials.
The aim of the paper is to study the oxidizing kinetics of the process at different temperatures.
Introduction Titanium and its alloys are widely use in a variety of applications ranging from aerospace, chemistry, and marine due to their high strength to weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
The wear resistance of these materials can be improved by surface modification, which is able to increase the surface hardness of titanium alloys and decrease their wear rate [3].
