Unravelling the abrasion resistance of two novel meta-stable titanium alloys on the basis of multi-pass-dual-indenter tests

Multi-pass-dual-indenter (MPDI) scratch tests with various loading conditions were performed on two newly developed titanium alloys (Ti–10V–1Fe–3Al and Ti–10V–2Cr–3Al) to investigate their abrasion resistance under repetitive local sliding contact. A technically pure titanium sample was used as the reference. Various microstructures were...
