Surface and Interface Studies for Improved Performance of Metallic Parts and Devices

Abstract

This work is to reveal and present some contemporary surface treatment methods used in view of improving performance of parts of a variety of metals and alloys. Stainless steels and titanium alloys are with the group of particular focus, important for medical implants in chirurgy and instruments used in dentistry. Improved, anti-corrosion properties and mechanical strength of materials are the primary features for examination.
