Bio-ceramic coatings were successfully fabricated on TC6 alloy substrates using laser remelting and micro-arc oxidation. The coatings were characterized and analyzed for their surface morphology, composition, and residual stress distribution. It was found that increasing the content of the rutile TiO2 phase improved the quality of the coatings and reduced porosity. The fretting wear test showed that the laser remelted MAO coating exhibited the best performance against fretting wear in a simulated body fluid environment, with the wear mechanism attributed to delamination and fatigue wear.
To improve fretting wear resistance, bio-ceramic coatings were successfully fabricated on TC6 alloy substrates using a combination of laser remelting (LRM) and micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The surface morphology, composition, and residual stress distribution of the coatings were characterized using scanning electron micro-scopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultra-deep field three-dimensional microscopy, and X-ray stress analysis. The influence of LRM pretreatment on the fretting wear behaviour of MAO bioceramic coatings was investigated. The LRM pre-treatment did not change the phase composition of the MAO coatings, which were all composed of Al2TiO5, rutile TiO2, and anatase TiO2 phases. However, increasing the content of the rutile TiO2 phase from 68 to 89% improved the uniformity and density of the coatings and decreased the porosity by 2.8%. The fretting wear test results showed that the LRM pretreated MAO coating exhibited the best performance against fretting wear in a simulated body fluid environment. In this case, the fretting wear mechanism was attributed to slight delamination and fatigue wear.
