Abstract
The advancement of technology leads to the development of new materials improving their tribology properties. It can be noticed in different areas like aerospace industry, chemical and oil that need resistant material in high temperatures and aggressive environments. In this case, it is important to think in its tribological properties, like wear, oxidation, toughness, and hardness. An effective mean, economic and with easy application is the plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) technique. In the case of difficult shapes, the material can be equally treated. In this work, the Ti-Al-4V alloy was submitted to PIII during 2 and 3 h. The comparative analysis to determine which of which time was more efficient related to the tribological improvement measured by Auger, X-ray diffraction and wear. It will be observed images by MEV of the alloy submitted to PIII treatment.
