Abstract
The investigations showed that grain size influences the wettability and surface free energy of titanium grade 2. A reduction in grain size is beneficial for the effectiveness of plasma nitriding. The results also indicate that the grain size of titanium grade 2 affects the surface morphology after shot peening and chemical etching with HF acid; these various methods make it possible to modify the surface roughness of titanium over a wide range. The present paper demonstrates that grain size affects the surface properties of titanium grade 2 and can be used as an additional parameter in optimizing the microstructure and properties of surface layers and coatings.
