Abstract—Titanium and its alloys exhibit a unique combination of physical and corrosion resistance properties which make them ideal materials for space flight engine component such as disks and blades of compressor, marine applications, chemical industries and many bio medical applications. However the use of these materials is limited due to its poor tribological properties. Because of this reason, these materials are of much interest to the researchers from few decades and they were subjected to many experiments to explore the wear behavior to a maximum extent. In this paper an attempt has been made to consolidate some aspect of wear behavior of CP Ti and factors affecting the wear mechanism.
