In the present study, a titanium nitride （TIN） grid network was fabricated on the surface of nickel titanium （NiTi） by LGN. The laser processing parameters were selected to achieve nitriding without surface melting and hence to＇maintain a smooth surface finish. The characteristics of the grid-nitrided samples were investigated by scanningelectron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, optical microscopy, 2-D profilometry, contact angle measurements and nanoindentation. The wear resistance of the nitrided samples was evaluated using reciprocating wear test against ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene （UHMWPE） in Hanks＇ solution. The results indicate that the wear rates of the grid-nitrided samples and the UHMWPE counter-body in the wear pair are both significantly reduced. The decrease in wear rates can be attributed to the combination of a hard TiN grid and a soft NiTi substrate. In Hanks＇ solution, the higher hydrophilicity of the nitrided samples also contributes to the better performance in wear test against hydrophobic UHMWPE.展开更多

While manufacturing a metal part by LMD process, if we could control the energy distribution in internal different areas such as cladding layer or that between cladding layer and the substrate with optimal process parameters, the probability of internal defects of parts can be reduced, and the mechanical properties of parts will be greatly improved. To address the problem that whether the part made by LMD has internal defects, in this paper we designed the orthogonal rotation experiments through selecting different process parameters. Then a Logistic Regression model was built based on the experiments data. The calculation result of the regression model was in good agreement with the result of authentication test. Therefore, this Logistic Regression model has important reference for selecting LMD process parameters.展开更多
