BioBlack Titanium anodize - Medical Coatings & Processes

BioBlack-Ti/ Titanium Blackening & Cleaning Process This process does not alter the chemical composition of the surface where multiple intersecting pores of oxide layers absorb light and create a perfect black color. Features: Oxide layered chemical composition  is close to the base titanium alloy Chemically stable Durable Surface quality can be bright or matte, depending on base material

Techmetals proprietary black titanium anodize process (TM-BioBlack) is a black titanium anodize process that can be performed on grades 1-4 titanium and grade 5 (Ti6Al4V) titanium. Techmetals Black anodize process uses a proprietary solution that forms a black shaded oxide layer on the surface of parts. This oxide layer formation is similar to the formation of type II gray and type III color titanium anodize oxide layers. TM-BioBlack has a thicker oxide coating caused by a different electrolyte and operational parameters. The porous oxide layer formed has a matte finish to it and is ideal for applications that require a low reflectivity coating. TM-BioBlack can also be applied in a non matte state if required. Although the black anodize coating has limited wear protection, it does provide anti corrosion protection and is great for jobs requiring a black visual criteria.

TM-BioBlack is a process that started in our research and development facility and is now in routine production. This is a great example of how Techmetals onsite research and development facility allows us to tailor our processing to specific customer and parts needs. Development of barrier layer coatings to achieve specialized surface performance or vapor deposition vacuum processes that achieve strong bonds between coating and substrates are just some of the specialty R&D capabilities Techmetals has with titanium. This is another way Techmetals Inc’s commitment to quality, innovation, superior service allows us “To be So Good Our Customers Brag About Us!”.
