Surface Chemistry, Morphology and Wetting Characteristics of Ti6Al4V Adherends.

Abstract

This investigation is part of a program which looks at the effects of surface treatments on surface chemistry and morphology of titanium and titanium alloys. This part reports on the effect of surface treatments on the alloy titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium. Anodization as a surface preparation is considered and the effect of electrolyte pH is discussed. The chemistry, morphology, and contact angle for various treatments are described and experiments are discussed which approximate alloy use and cause changes which might be expected during the service lifetime of the alloy.
