Surface modification technique is important to enhance
the tribological properties of titanium alloy grade 5 (Ti6Al-4V).
One of the surface melting techniques is tungsten
inert gas (TIG) torch welding to produce similar results to
the costly high power laser technique. The substrate alloy
was preplaced with silicon carbide (SiC) powder and then
melted using tungsten inert gas (TIG) torch surface
melting technique. The process parameters of the surface
melting technique are current, voltage, travel speed and
SiC powder size. The process optimization was carried out
to obtain the desired quality characteristics of the SiC
coated surface using Taguchi method in the Minitab
version 17 software. The results showed that the
significant improvement of hardness and better wear rate
performance. The maximum hardness increased until
482.3 Hv compared to substrate material of 152.8 Hv. The
lowest result of the SiC modified titanium alloy for wear
rate is 0.1711 mm3/Nm and coefficient of friction is 0.39.
It is found that the voltage and SiC powder sizes play
important role on the hardness, wear resistance and
coefficient of friction of the modified titanium alloy
surface layer.
