Changing the future with TiSurf^® Technology.

Titanium is the ninth-most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. It is predicted to be a more common material in the future, due to more efficient extraction methods and an increased demand for corrosionresistant, lightweight, strong materials. TiSurf® provides titanium with completely new applications, especially in combination with fast development in metal powder and net shape production, e.g. 3D printing and pressing.

Net shape production

Net shape production suits titanium parts extremely well. It helps optimize costs by minimizing material waste compared to traditional processing. The high titanium strength-to-weight ratio creates additional opportunities for optimization in net shape production in the design, allowing for complex structures, porosity, channels and cavities. Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) combines very high temperature and pressure to eliminate internal microporosity and consolidate encapsulated powders to give fully dense materials, thereby improving mechanical properties by removing defects. HIP is an integral part of the TiSurf® 3 process.

Chromium replacement

Coatings and surface treatments are other areas which are rapidly changing in many industry sectors. Several factors, including environmental, safety and health (ESH) regulations, drive these changes. For example, one of the most commonly used corrosion control materials today, hexavalent chromium, is a highly carcinogenic and mutagenic substance, and will be banned in the EU on September 21, 2017. Most of the chromium alternatives for corrosion control use nanoparticles to inhibit permeation. This is an effective approach, but concern over nanoparticles is also increasing. Existing chromium solutions in aerospace, oil and gas, process industry, maritime industry, power industry, engineering, infrastructure, and transport can effectively be replaced with environmentally friendly TiSurf® alternatives. Additionally, the replacements contribute to improved system performance and economic impact, as the TiSurf®-treated components can be designed for tribological optimization, thereby significantly increasing sustainability.

Patent granted

We are proud to announce that the patent for our “Method of treating a workpiece comprising a titanium metal and object" (SE540497C2) was granted today. The patent describes our TiSurf® high pressure process, which combines a special hardening nitration, over pressure (HIP) and quenching. It provides a deeper hardening than the original TiSurf® process and allows for more control in the processing in order to better optimize the functionality of the components. Our new TiSurf® process is ideal as part of a value chain with net shape production, such as 3D printing, and is especially suitable for high performance applications, such as aerospace, defense, process, and energy industries.

Chromium VI will be banned

Existing chromium solutions in aerospace, oil and gas, process industry, maritime industry, power industry, engineering, infrastructure, and transport can effectively be replaced with TiSurf® alternatives. Chromium VI is a highly carcinogenic and mutagenic substance. It is listed on the EU's Annex XIV of REACH (Authorization List) and will be banned in the EU on September 21, 2017, eliciting the need for a replacement.
