Abstract
The paper contains the results of surface modification on the properties of the pure titanium Grade II, obtained by the SLM procedure. In the paper, the analysis of the results of physicochemical properties, such as pitting corrosion test and contact angle measurements and Surface Free Energy calculated were performed. Additionally, the microscopic observation with microchemical analysis, surface topography analysis using Atomic Force Microscopy, surface roughness measurements and wear test were performed too. The studies were carried out on three groups of samples in an initial state (1) (after mechanical treatment - mechanical grinding and polishing) and after surface modification by PVD method using CrN layer (2) and TiN layer (3). Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the samples with TiN layer were characterized by the optimum properties.
