Abstract:Titanium alloys are widely used in various industries because of their excellent properties. However, titanium alloys have poor wear resistance and are especially sensitive to fretting wear, which greatly limits the application and development of titanium alloys. In this paper, the influence factors of fretting wear properties and the research status of fretting wear resistance of titanium alloys were reviewed. At present, there are two limitations in the research of fretting wear of titanium alloys: (1) the research on fretting wear of titanium alloys is mostly carried out under the single and stable impact parameter; (2) researchers have less research on fretting wear of titanium alloys under special working conditions. Thus, the future research on fretting wear of titanium alloys should be combined with the failure examples in industrial applications. Besides, researchers should strengthen the research on fretting wear under multi factors, variable parameters and special working conditions. On the basis of fretting wear failure mechanism, according to the characteristics of titanium alloy metal, composite surface treatment technology would be further studied to significantly improve the fretting wear performance of titanium alloy.
