Abstract

The wear response of a newly developed metastable β-type Ti–25Nb–2Mo–4Sn (abbreviated as Ti-2524) alloy was investigated and compared with that of (α+β)-type Ti–6Al–4V alloy. Experimental results show that solution-treated (ST) Ti-2524 specimen has the lowest wear rate due to the combined effects of excellent ductility and lubricative Nb₂O₅. Although similar Nb₂O₅ forms on the surface of the cold rolled plus annealed (CRA) Ti-2524 specimen, the beneficial effect of Nb₂O₅ on the wear resistance is counteracted by the increase in wear rate caused by low elongation. Thus, the wear rate of the CRA Ti-2524 alloy is higher than that of ST Ti-2524 specimen. As for the ST Ti–6Al–4V alloy, no lubricative Nb₂O₅ forms on its worn surface owing to the absence of Nb. In addition, the ST Ti–6Al–4V alloy exhibits an elongation roughly similar to the CRA Ti-2524 specimen. Therefore, the ST Ti–6Al–4V specimen possesses a higher wear rate than the CRA Ti-2524 specimen.
