Abstract:In recent years, various technologies have been increasingly investigated for the surface modification of Ti and Ti alloys. Microarc oxidation (MAO) is one of the effective techniques to improve surface properties. However, it has some disadvantages for sliding wear applications and/or aggressive environments. In this study, the combined MAO and closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering process was used to deposit duplex MAO/diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on Ti 6 Al 4 V alloy. Analysis of the microstruc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
