Surface hardening of AC4C aluminium alloy with TiC powders was obtained by plasma transferred are (PTA) method, Bead appearance, microstrucutre and wear behavior were characterized in relation to the torch current, powder feed rate and wear condition. The width and the depth of bead were mainly increased with increasing torch current. The comparison of wear behavior between AC4C alloy and PTA treated AC4C alloy showed the remarkable enhancement of wear resistance.

The profile ring rolling process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated by finite element(FE) simulation and experimental analysis. The process design of the profile ring rolling includes geometry design and optimization of process variables. The geometry design such as initial billet and blank sizes, and final rolled ring shape was carried out with the calculation method based on the uniform deformation concept between the wall thickness and ring height. FEM simulation was used to calculate the state variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature and to predict the formation of forming defects during ring rolling process. Finally, the mechanical properties of profiled Ti-6Al-4V alloy ring product were analyzed with the evolution of microstructures during the ring rolling process.

A method for estimating the shear spinnability is suggested, and it was applied to sheets of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for estimation of shear spinnability at hot working temperature. The effective working temperature was $850^{\circ}C$ or above. The hot spinning operation was carried out in two steps of shear spinning. The reduction of thickness at the first step was 50% and 45% at the second, and the overall reduction of thickness was 72.4%. The cone spinning process could produce a uniform wall thickness with only a few percent tolerance, proving itself appropriate for making cones of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with uniform wall thickness.

The mechannical properties and corrosion resistance of alloy added commercially pure titanium for dental implants have been investigated. Ti, To-65Zr, Ti-10.1Ta and Ti-17Sn alloys were melthed in arc furnace and the corrosion resistance of Ti alloys was evaluated by anodic polarization test. The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti alloy were analysed by optical micrograph. hardness tester and instron. In isothermal test, Ti-10.1Ta and Ti-17Sn alloys exhibited the best oxidation resistance below $1100^{\circ}C$. Ti65Zr, Ti-10.1Ta and Ti-17Sn alloys showed better rockwell hardness compared with commercially pure. Ti As the result of the anodic polarization test in 5%HCl, it 5%HCl, it was known knows that Ti-65Zr, alloy showed a rapid decrease in current density at higher potenial in comparision with other Ti alloys.

Titanium 6242(.alpha. + .betha.) alloy has a good strength/weight ratio and is used for aircraft components such as engine disks and compressor blades. When this material is forged at an elevated temperature, the process parameters should be carefully controlled because the process window of this material is quite narrow. In the present investigation, a rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method is used to predict the deformation behavior and temperature/strain distributions in an engine disk during near-net shape hot forging. The purpose of the investigation is to obtain a proper ram speed profile, assuming the hydraulic press used in the forging is capable of varying ram speed during loading. In result, it was found that the ram speed at constant strain-rate of 0.5/sec shows a sound deformation behavior, a relatively uniform deformation and a good temperature distribution. This information is also valuable in predicting resulting microstructures in the disk.

Metal matrix composites(MMCs) are increasingly attractive for high technology components such as aerospace applications and transportations due to their high strength, stiffness, and toughness. Many processes for fabricating MMCs have been developed, and relatively simple Foil-Fiber-Foil method is usually employed in solid state consolidation processes. During the consolidation processes at high temperature, densification occurs by the inelastic flow of the matrix materials, and the process is coupled with the conditions of pressure, temperature and volume fraction of fiber and matrix materials. This is particularly important in titanium matrix composites, and thus a generic model based on micro-mechanical approaches enabling the evolution of density over time to be predicted has been developed. The mode developed is then implemented into FEM so that practical process simulation has been carried out. Further the experimental investigation of the consolidation behavior of SiC/Ti-6Al-4V composites using vacuum hot pressing has been performed, and the results obtained are compared with the model predictions.

Ti-0 film is a kind of biocompatible surface materials. In this paper, a new method, glow discharge plasma oxidizing, has been used in synthesizing Ti-O gradient films on Ti6A14V substrates. The effects of ion bombardment and process parameters on the structures of titanium oxide layers have been investigated. The results demonstrate that DC glow plasma oxidizing is more efficient in preparation of dense, hard, and high adhesive Ti-O biomedical films on titanium and its alloys. Samples treated by this method show higher hardness values than by others. Especially, in the condition of hollow cathode discharge, the ion bombardment enhances ionization of oxygen, promotes the oxygen permeation and facilitates the formation of the oxide of low valence states of titanium.

This study presents the wear characteristics of Ti alloys (Pure Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn) fabricated by centrifugal precision casting in an Ohara dental titanium casting machine. It was found that the hardness of the surface region is higher than that of the interior region. It is considered that the oxygen adsorption in the surface region during casting, leads to the interstitial solid solution hardening. Wear resistance incerases in the order of pure Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloys. The interior hardness value increases in the same order. The specific wear rate increases with applied load and increases monotonously with sliding speed. The Fe transfer from the counterpart material was observed on the worn surface of the Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy. Oxidative wear occurs at low sliding speeds and mechanical fracture wear occurs at high sliding speeds.

Titanium-6242 $({\alpha}+{\beta})$ alloy has been used for aircraft engine components such as disks and blades, because it has an excellent strength/weight ratio at high temperatures. When this material is forged to manufacture disks, process parameters should be carefully designed to control strain and temperature distributions within the process windows by which desirable mechanical properties can be produced. In the present investigation, it was intended to design the process parameters for a conventional hot forging of this material by using a rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element analysis technique. It was assumed that the process was performed by a screw press which is capable of maintaining a constant ram speed during loading. From the analysis results, it was found out that the initial temperature of the workpiece and the die shape were important parameters to control the forging process. In result, these parameters were properly designed for hot forging of a disk with specific dimensions.

The interactions between cells and nanotopographies are increasingly interested as nanotopographies that may be more efficient in promoting cell functions and, titanium nanotubes have attracted much attention. Titanium nanotube can be fabricated easily with precisely controlled diameters and lengths. Titanium nanotubes with the suitable tube dimensions have been observed to enhance bone cell functions, whereas, there is still some controversy. These nanotubes can also serve as carriers for drugs such as growth factors, antibacterial agents and other drugs and show promise in bone implant applications.
