These investigations showed that the improved mechanical and tribological properties of the surface-treated alloy were related to the presence of a multilayered microstructure containing several phases from the Ni-Ti-P-Al system.Analytical transmission electron microscopy • electron diffraction • surface layers • titanium alloysAnalytical transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction for characterization of multiphase Ni-P-Ti surface layer on Ti-6Al-4V alloytext::journal::journal article::research article
