The SiO 2 nano particles were coated on the micro-structures to build micro-nano structures. The contact angles and roll angles were measured by contact angle measurement. The tribological performance was evaluated by universal micro-tribometer(umt). The micrograph and wear tracks were investigated by LEXT OLS4000 3D laser scanning confocal microscopy. The results show that the super hydrophobic Ti6Al4V surfaces with the micro-nano structure can be prepared by coating the SiO 2 nano particles on the micro-structures. The grid surface is more difficult to be wet than dot surface. The harder the surface is wet, the lower the wear rate of sample is. The wear rates of super hydrophobic surface with dot and grid decrease by 32.3% and 53.8%, respectively, while the fluctuation and value of friction coefficient curve both decrease. The super hydrophobic Ti6Al4V surfaces with the micro-nano structure significantly improve the tribological properties of titanium alloy.
