Properties, Applications, and Surface Nanotechnology of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Titanium is widely used in various industries, including chemical, aerospace, medical materials, and electronics, due to its excellent properties such as high density, high specific strength, corrosion and high temperature resistance, good mechanical properties, light weight, and good biocompatibility.
However, with the progress of society and the development of science, the performance of titanium and titanium alloys can no longer meet all needs. Therefore, how to modify it to break through its usage limitations has become an urgent problem to be solved. The application of nanotechnology provides a new modification approach for titanium and titanium alloys. The cost of directly preparing nano materials is high and the output is small, while surface nano technology has relatively low cost, simple and mature operation technology.
There are various methods for surface modification of titanium and titanium alloys, among which anodizing treatment is a simple and effective surface treatment method. Anodizing is an electrochemical method that produces an oxide film on a metal or alloy to achieve surface nanoscaling of the specimen. By adjusting the electrolyte concentration, voltage and current, and reaction time, a set of TiO2 nanotubes with controllable length and diameter can be obtained. In the process of anodic oxidation reaction, it mainly includes two reaction processes: the formation and dissolution of TiO2. Through the cycle of these two reactions, nanotubes are finally produced.
In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology, the application fields of titanium and titanium alloys will be further expanded, and the requirements for material properties will also be further increased. Titanium and titanium alloys will develop towards high temperature resistance, higher strength, better plasticity, and higher quality wear resistance. At the same time, the surface treatment technology of titanium alloys will also be more advanced, and the surface friction resistance, acid resistance, and corrosion resistance of titanium alloys after surface nano treatment will be further improved. In the new era, titanium and titanium alloys are bound to achieve greater development.
