Abstract

The process of plasma surface carbon implantation was conducted in vacuum (5×10-3 Pa) with 99.999% Ar2. The carbonization layer was formed on pure titanium by double-glow plasma surface carbon implantation. The fracture morphology, phase composition wearability, and surface hardness of the carbonization layer were determined by SEM, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), M200 friction resistant meter, and TR240 hardometer. The results show that the depth of carbonization layer which is composed of TiC is more than 100 μm, the substrate is α-Ti, the hardness HV nearly to 6 000 MPa, the surface hardness HV is 20 000 MPa, and the friction coefficient is 0.11 after double-glow plasma surface carbon implantation on titanium. The abrasion wear of the carbonization layer is 1 592.5 times as less as that of pure titanium. So by means of double-glow plasma surface carbon implantation the attrition resistant of Ti is greatly improved.
