c) mechanical properties, internal stresses removal, and machineability;
d) tribological properties, materials' surface properties, especially in respect
of wear rate and wear volume release from contacting surfaces;
e) other unique material functionalities include transformation-induced
plasticity and the metamagnetic shape memory effect.
Poor tribological properties such as high friction coefficient, low abrasive
wear resistance, and relatively low hardness are the most significant obstacles
hindering the broader use of titanium-based alloys and limiting their
applications under sliding conditions and contact loads (Suhendra, et al., 2009;
S. Izman). Therefore, to improve the tribological properties of titanium alloys,
various methods have been applied to improve resistance to abrasive wear
(Sandomierski, et al., 2020) and plastic shearing (Borgioli, et al., 2005).
Moreover, surface coatings may also improve or modify tribological properties
by changing surface layers' microstructure (Kilicay, et al., 2020).
Thermochemical treatments improved the wear resistance of Titanium Alloy
using thermal oxidation. Although this is a low-cost processing route for wear
performance enhancement, it suffers limitations like other processes such as
nitriding and boriding (Kilicay, et al., 2020). Recently, a new processing route
for a lower-grade titanium alloy has been developed (Alcisto, et al., 2004;
Borradaile, et al., 1980; Narayana, et al., 2010; M. Peters, et al., 2003).
However, up to now, many efforts have only been dedicated to evaluating the
addition. However, very few studies have been systematically conducted to
evaluate the tribological behaviour -type Ti-6Al
alloy with Nb addition (Fellah, et al., 2014).
Heat treatment application to Ti-6Al-7Nb material, as mentioned above,
comes from the purposes of the manufacturing process's background and the
material's production purpose. Titanium alloys of this type are generally used as
materials for biomaterial applications. Titanium alloys as bone implants require
excellent biocompatibility, osseointegration, and non-toxicity. Apart from the
above-mentioned, materials used in total hip arthroplasty require corrosion
resistance and mechanical and tribological properties (Fellah, et al., 2014;
. Therefore, in discussing this literature review, the author
tries to figure out the various methods of the titanium manufacturing process in
general, then find out the effectiveness of heat treatment related to the phases of
titanium alloys. Furthermore, studying the stages of heat treatment work and
strategies to get the expected results, including avoiding things that can be
detrimental during the heat treatment process. Of course, all information is
extracted from information published by researchers in their field.
