Progress in Preparation and Post-treatment Technology of Titanium Coating and Its Applications
Titanium(Ti)and its alloys are widely used in various fields due to their low density,high strength,and excellent corrosion resistance.However the relatively high cost of Ti limits its further application.By forming titanium coatings on the substrate,the cost can be greatly reduced,while still obtaining the desirable properties of Ti.Additionally,Ti coatings exhibit superior durability and mechanical properties compared to the conventional organic coatings,leading to the increasingly intensifying research in this field.This paper systematically clarifies the mainstream technologies for the preparation and post-treatment of Ti coatings,and summarizes worldwide researches of Ti coating with applications in the fields such as marine engineering,biomedical engineering,aerospace,etc.The paper ends with a prospective discussion about the existing challenges and the future trends with respect to the development of Ti coatings.
