Optimisation of the oxygen diffusion process for surface hardening of the Ti-6A1-4V alloy
Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 87-89). === A well established method of surface hardening for titanium alloys is through solid solution strengthening by alloying with oxygen. This is achieved through a two step oxygen boost diffusion hardening (OBDH) process. Duri...
