Abstract
A new technique of glow-discharge ionized surface alloying with arc source was used to treat Ti5Al2. 5Sn alloy. The microstructure and constituent distribution in diffusion layer were studied. The wear resistance and the galvanic corrosion susceptibility of the alloyed surface layer contacted with titanium alloy Ti5Al2. 5Sn were evaluated. It is found that a composite modified surface of NiCr coating over nickel-chromium diffusion layer can be quickly formed with the new technology. The alloyed surface consists of Ni3Ti, Ni3Al, Cr 2Ti and other phases. The hardness and the wear resistance of the alloyed surface are higher than that of nitrided surface. The modified titanium alloy has high corrosion resistance in Cl-1 environment and low galvanic corrosion susceptibility contacted with Ti base metal.
