Abstract
The nature of the oxide on the surface of titanium and the Ti-6Al-4 V alloy after a number of recommended treatments has been examined by x-ray and electron diffraction. No evidence for material other than titania in its rutile form was obtained even though anatase and fluoride have been reported. The most efficient surface for adhesive bonding is a rough surface of the black oxide such as is produced by treatment of the metal in alkaline hydrogen peroxide.Keywords
