Abstract
Currently, different surface treatments have been studied to improve wear resistance and increase the hardness values of grade 2 titanium, based on morphological and structural changes. For this work, the impact of the annealing temperature on grade 2 titanium surfaces obtained by the electrochemical anodization technique using HCl in aqueous solution at a concentration of 3 M and a constant potential of 11.5 V for 2 h was studied. Annealing temperatures were 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C for 4 h. It was found that the plates treated at 600 °C presented the best results, where a hardness of up to 5.57 GPa and coefficient and wear rate values of 0.28 and 1.56 × 10–4 mm3/Nm, respectively, were obtained. The oxide layers exhibited a combination of anatase and rutile crystalline phases in X-ray diffraction and Raman-active vibrational modes of anatase and rutile.
