The morphology, structure and forming mechanism of the Cu-Ti alloying layer were analyzed. The microhardness and wear resistance of the Cu-Ti alloying layer were measured, and compared with those of pure copper. The results indicate that the surface of copper activated by Ar and Ti ions bombardment is favorable to absorption and diffusion of Ti element. In current experimental temperature, as the Ti content increases, the liquid phase occurs between the deposited layer and diffused layer, which makes the Ti ions and atoms easy to dissolve and the thickness of Cu-Ti alloying layer increase rapidly. After cooling, the structure of the alloying layer is composed of CuTi, Cu4Ti and （Cu（Ti）） solid solution. The solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening effects of Ti result in high surface hardness and wear resistance.展开更多

The results showed that stable titanium content can be obtained by adding a small quantity of TiO2 into electrolyte of pure aluminum. Under this approach, a greater than 95% absorptivity of titanium was achieved, and the microstructure of the specimens was changed to fine equiaxed grains from coarse columnar grains in the pure aluminum. In comparison with the tradition A356 alloys and wheels, the corresponding microstructure in the testing A356 alloys and wheels was finer. Although the tensile strength was similar between the testing and the tradition A356 alloys and wheels, the ductility of the former (testing) is superior to that of the later (tradition), leading to an excellent combination of strength and ductility from the testing alloys and wheels.展开更多
