Abstract Ti-6Al-4V alloys mad by additive manufacturing (AM) with slower cooling rate (eg,
direct energy deposition (DED)) generally have the problem of severe coarsening of α …

The in-situ strengthening approach has attracted increasing attention in the selective laser
melting (SLM) of high-performance alloy. In the present work, the argon-nitrogen (Ar-N 2) …

To enhance the wear resistance and further extend the application of Ti alloys under severe
wear conditions, TiN-and TiB-reinforced Ti-based composite coatings modified with Y 2 O 3 …

In this paper, titanium nitrides were produced on commercially pure titanium samples by
laser nitriding processes, with the goal of improving bio-compatibility and corrosion …

Surface nitriding of titanium and titanium alloys is a commonly used method to enhance their
wear properties. In this work, the pulsed laser was used to nitride TA1 commercially pure …

Pure metals tend to have a superior malleability compared to alloys. However, the
applicability of pure metals is limited by their low strengths and hardness properties. In this …

In the current study, ultra-hard TiC, TiN, and Ti (C, N) layers were in-situ formed on carbon
steel substrate using pure titanium electrode via electro-spark deposition (ESD) in argon …

The trade-off between strength and ductility is a prevalent issue in strengthening
commercially pure titanium (CP–Ti). This study presents a method to prepare ultra-high …

In general, metal surface nitriding should be performed in a nitrogen atmosphere without
oxygen. Treatment in an open atmosphere is believed to result in oxide formation. In this …

Industrial use of ultrashort pulse surface structuring would significantly increase by effective
utilization of the average laser powers available currently. However, the unexplained …
