Thin oxide layers were obtained in Ti6Al4V alloy by anodizing process in phosphoric acid with different currents and anodizing times. The oxide layers were characterised by X-Ray Diffraction, Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy, as well as by surface roughness and porosity measurements. The tribological response of anodized samples under lubricated sliding contact was studied in a pin-on-disc tribometer, in which UHMWPE
