Surface Characterization of Titanium and Titanium Alloys. Part I. Effect on Titanium - 6Aluminum - 4Vanadium Alloy of Commercial Treatments.

摘要

This report describes a study using a combination of ion scattering spectrometry (ISS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) along with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine chemistry and morphology of surfaces produced by commercial treatments on Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Treatments include alkaline clean, alkaline etch, phosphate-fluoride, Pasa-Jell 107 and Vought Abrasive Slurry Treatment (VAST).
