Reciprocating sliding tests using a ball-on-plate tribometer under differentes applied loads 3, 7 and 10 N load and anodic potentials were applied to evaluate the effect of applied lad and the effect of Nb and Mo elements on tribocorrosion behaviors of samples. Results showed that, Ti-Nb exhibited better anticorrosive properties than Ti-Mo. Under tribological action the nanostructured both of alloys showed similar friction coefficient, while Ti-Nb present lower tendency to corrosion compared to Ti-Mo. Furthermore, Nb diffusion increased the repassivation rate with respect to Ti-Mo surfaces due to its stable passive film. Due to the high chemical reaction rate in β-type Ti-15Mo alloy as compared to Ti-15Nb. The β- Ti-15Nb showed lower volume loss, lower friction coefficient values and exhibited better corrosion resistance during tribocorrosion tests than Ti-15Mo. Prevailing electrochemical conditions between -1 and 2 V influences the wear accelerated corrosion by increasing it with the applied potential and slightly increases the mechanical wear. Also, wear accelerated corrosion can be predicted by existing models as a function of electrochemical and mechanical parameters of the titanium alloys. However, considering biomedical applications, the β- Ti15 Mo and Ti15Nb alloys may be good candidates with low elastic modulus and without toxic alloying elements.

Thermocyclic treatment on 42CD4 steel was operated for four cycles at 850 °C for 30 min. After each cycle, the steel sample was cooled in different medium (open air and water) in order to check the effect of the cooling rate on the microstructure characteristics. It was found that the cooling rate can affect the mechanical characteristics of the steel. The hardness values of steel cooled in water were higher than those of steel cooled in air. Additionally, there was an increase in the resilience of steel sample with the increase of thermocyclic number.

The prepared samples were characterized using various apperatus such as X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and ball-on-plate type oscillating tribometer. Wear tests were conducted under different applied loads (2, 8 and 16 N). Structural results showed that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach the lowest values of 4 nm and 29 nm at 1373 K, respectively. The relative density of the sintered sample at 1373 K was as high as 97.0%. Moreover, a higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density, greater hardness and elastic modulus of the sample. It was observed that both the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the sample sintered at 1373 K which was attributed to the closed porosity.
