Types of anodizing for titanium alloys

Type 2 anodizing has a thinner oxide layer and is usually used to enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

The second type of titanium anodizing has a typical uniform gray layer.

The oxide film of the second type of anodizing is generally thinner, ranging from 0.5 to 5 micrometers. The surface of the treated titanium alloy appears gray or light gold, without the use of any dyes. It mainly enhances the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy, but the appearance is relatively monotonous. It can enhance the wear resistance of the titanium alloy, reducing friction and wear. It improves the corrosion resistance, enabling it to adapt to more harsh environments. Due to the relatively monotonous color, it is usually used for surface treatment of functional components.

It is used for aircraft components, engine parts and other parts that require high strength and corrosion resistance. It is also suitable for industrial equipment that demands wear resistance and long service life, such as valves, pumps, pressure vessels, etc.

The three types of anodizing require a thicker oxide film and offer various color effects. They are suitable for components that need color as identification or decoration.

The thickness of the oxide films for the three types of anodizing usually ranges from 5 to 25 micrometers. Due to the relatively thick film layer, various colors can be presented through the interference effect of the film layer, including blue, purple, gold, green, etc. This enhances the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy, and can also produce rich color effects.

In addition to providing stronger surface protection and increased durability. By controlling the thickness of the oxide film, different color effects can be achieved, which is suitable for occasions that require decoration and color coding.

It is used for orthopedic implants, dental implants, etc., and has excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.

The colored oxide films of titanium alloys are widely used in the design of jewelry and decorative items, being both beautiful and durable.

It can also be used for sports equipment, such as bicycle parts and sports gear, which require both high strength and an attractive appearance.

The titanium alloy anodizing process forms an oxide film on the surface of the titanium alloy, which not only enhances its corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but also gives it various colors. By appropriately selecting the anodizing process, it is possible to improve the product's functionality while also enhancing its market appeal and competitiveness.
