Abstract
The center of attention of this research is gamma (γ) irradiation on biocompatible Ti alloy and their effects on the structural, mechanical, and wear properties. The dosage of 35kGy from γ-source (Ir192) on Ti6Al4V alloy at 700°C induces the formation of substantial grains of α with intergranular β phase. The effect of γ-irradiation provides the better wear resistance and coefficient of friction due to its improved grain boundaries and surface hardness. The SEM morphology on the wear track clearly exhibits the oxide layer formation on the worn surface of the γ-irradiated Ti alloy which resists the wear with a minor fragmentation by ploughing in a controlled region.
