Investigation of W–Mo alloyed layer synthesised by double glow plasma surface metallurgy

In the present study, the W–Mo alloyed layer was deposited on surface of Ti–6Al–4V. Microhardness and nanoindentation testing was used to evaluate mechanical properties of the alloyed layer. The tribological behaviour of W–Mo alloyed layer was estimated using a pin on disc tribometer. The friction coefficient and the wear mass were measured. Results showed that the tungsten and molybdenum content in the alloyed layer decreased gradually from...
