Titanium is amazing material for wide applications due to its properties and its behaviour in specific conditions of exploitation. Against all these recommending characteristics, titanium has poor behaviour in conditions of friction. Wear processes are usually recorded during friction activity. Improving of the titanium’s wear behaviour is possible by modification of the surface properties or by generating wear resistant layers using specific technologies. The paper presents experimental and theoretical analysis, performed in order to optimise the layer generation process. As base material, Ti-6Al-4V was used. Laser technology was used for the deposition of amorphous material. It has been considered two situations: modification of the surface by thermal cycle specific to simple laser beam melting and the generation by deposition of specific layer using laser technology and wear resistant adding materials. In the cases, optimization of the laser melting process was considered and hardness and structure of the new surfaces were analysed..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
