THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE Ti6Al4V ALLOY WITH NITROGEN ION IMPLANTATION
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2019, Vol 283, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents the analysis of the influence of ion implantation on the properties of titanium alloy used in biotribological systems. The object of the study was the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V implanted with nitrogen ions. Tribological model tests were carried out in combination with a sphere with Al2O3 – a Ti6Al4V alloy disc implanted with N+ ions. Experimental friction tests were carried out on pin-on-disc testers in conditions of technically dry conditions and in conditions of lubrication with the Ringer’s solution. The tests on the TRB tester were carried out in a swinging motion, while on the T-01 tester in a sliding movement. Friction coefficient and wear were determined for all tests. Surface morphology testing and chemical composition analyses were performed using the Jeol JSM-7100F scanning electron microscope, equipped with an EDS microanalyzer. Surface geometry measurements prior to and after tribological tests were performed on a Taylor Hobson’s Talysurf CCI contactless optical profilometer. The optical tensiometer was used to determine the contact angles with demineralized water and Ringer’s solution. The tribological tests of the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V lead to the conclusion that implantation of N+ ions results in better tribological properties of the alloy. The best tribological characteristics were obtained for a titanium alloy implanted with nitrogen ions under technically dry friction conditions. The influence of the tribological system on Ringer’s fluid influenced the reduction of coefficients of friction in the oscillating movement (Tribometer TRB) and sliding motion (Tester T-01M). In the case of a oscillating movement, higher wear of the tested friction pair was observed under friction conditions with the Ringer solution lubrication.<br/><br/>
