Abstract
Ceramic conversion treatment (CCT) is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly new surface engineering technology developed specifically for titanium-based alloys, including titanium and its alloys, TiAl intermetallics and TiNi shape memory alloys. To date, the potential of the new ceramic conversion technology is being realised in the motor sport, automotive, aerospace, biomedical and off-shore oil industries. This chapter starts with a brief introduction to ceramic conversion treatment, followed by three sections devoted to CCT of Ti and its alloys, TiAl intermetallics and TiNi shape memory alloys; and it ends with conclusions and future trends.
