Titanium Anodic Oxidation

• PURPLE/BLUE TITANIUM ANODIC OXIDATION
  • SEALING IN HOT WATER

Titanium anodic oxidation is a process that is used to increase the thickness of titanium dioxide on the surface of the metal, thus improving its resistance to corrosion and wear.

Anodic oxidation treatment can be used to produce a purple or blue color on the titanium surface. The color obtained mainly depends on the voltage applied during the anodic oxidation process and on the concentration of electrolyte used.

After anodic oxidation, it is possible to seal the titanium surface by immersing it in hot water. This sealing process helps reduce surface porosity and improve the corrosion resistance of titanium.

In general, titanium anodic oxidation and hot water sealing are common techniques used in the aeronautical industry, medical industry and other applications where a corrosion and wear resistant metal is needed.
