Notes:
The surface-modified Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V was obtained in the process of the doubleglow discharge plasma hydrogen-free carburizing. The high purity solid graphite as the sourcecathode supplied the carbon elements; pure titanium and its alloys were used as the cathode and argonas the working gas. At certain pressure and voltage, the glow discharge appeared between cathodeand anode, source cathode and anode. The carbon plasma flux, including carbon atoms, ions,sputtered by argon ions diffused into the substrate, which depended on ions bombardment andthermal diffusion at a negative voltage. High purity solid graphite cathode was done in a honeycombshape or grid shape. A layer with TiC and C phases was formed during the process. Surface hardnesswas increased by four times due to the presence of TiC and C phases, and wear resistance wasenormously improved. The C concentration and hardness of alloying layer changed gradually withthe depth. The corrosion properties of hydrogen-free carburized specimens were tested in the solutionof 5% NaCl and 5% H2SO4, using electrochemical corrosion method. The results showed that thecorrosion resistance of carburized specimens was significantly improved in 5% H2SO4 solution
