Titanium alloy anodizing treatment: Dressing the "space metal" in an "all-purpose armor"

Titanium alloy, with its excellent properties such as light weight and high strength, is hailed as the "metal of space". It has achieved remarkable success in numerous fields including aerospace, medicine, and decoration. But giving titanium alloy a "corrosion-resistant spa treatment" can make it even more "all-round"!

1. Film layer performance: Wearing the "Golden Shield", both appearance and strength are on par.
After anodizing, a "super protective film" will form on the surface of the titanium alloy, with extremely high chemical stability! In "harsh environments" such as strong acids and strong bases, it is like a sturdy armor, firmly protecting the titanium alloy substrate and significantly extending the material's lifespan.
Even more astonishingly, this layer of film can also "change color"! Through precise control of the process, brilliant colors such as golden yellow, blue, and purple can be easily achieved. Its outstanding appearance enables titanium alloy to effortlessly take the leading role in the fields of decoration and jewelry.
Hardness and wear resistance are not to be underestimated either! The treated surface can reach a hardness of 300-800HV, and its wear resistance is extremely high. After this treatment, mechanical parts, tools and other components will no longer be afraid of frequent friction and impact. The replacement frequency will be reduced, saving money and being convenient.

2. Process Adaptability: Flexible and versatile, capable of operating in multiple fields.
The titanium alloy anodized surface has an excellent "temperament" and is highly versatile. There are a wide range of electrolyte options available, including acidic substances such as sulfuric acid and oxalic acid, as well as basic substances like sodium hydroxide. These can all be used as needed to create different types of oxide films with specific properties. These parameters such as voltage, temperature and time can also be flexibly adjusted. Want to generate the oxide film quickly? Increase the voltage appropriately; want to precisely control the thickness and performance of the film? Adjust the temperature and time, and it's all done easily, perfectly adaptable to various scenarios.

That's why it is widely used in various fields: in the aerospace industry, the sulfuric acid system is used to create uniform and wear-resistant coating layers to ensure flight safety; in the decoration field, the oxalic acid system is employed, using the principle of light interference to produce unique colors, giving a strong artistic touch.

3. Function Expansion: Unlock 30+ skills, cross-border without any hassle
(1) In the medical field: After the process has been improved, the membrane layer becomes biocompatible and can "get along well" with human tissues, reducing rejection reactions. With this technology, medical implants such as artificial joints and dental implants are safer and more reliable.

(2) Marine Engineering: This technology endows the coating with anti-fouling properties. In marine environments with high salt content and abundant microorganisms, it can effectively prevent marine organisms from attaching and pollutants from eroding, allowing the equipment to operate "cleanly" for an extended period.

(3) Electronic field: Making the oxide film conductive to meet the performance requirements of electronic components, contributing to the miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices.
