Abstract

In this study, Al2O3/Ti composite coating was deposited on TiAl6V4 substrate in various compositions using the electrophoretic deposition method. After the deposition, samples were dried at room temperature then the coated samples were sintered at 1050C for 4 h. Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction analysis were used to analyse the microstructure and morphology of coatings. The friction coefficient, wear (missing volume) and hardness of coatings have been studied in comparison with uncoated sample. The results demonstrate that the density of Al2O3/Ti composite coating increased considerably after heat treatment process. Moreover, wearing resistance of TiAl6V4 alloy escalated considerably, increasing its potential for application in orthopedic implants and artificial joints.
