Although titanium rods themselves have excellent corrosion resistance, in certain specific environments, we still need to perform surface treatment on them to enhance their corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to the surface treatment process of titanium rods: atmospheric oxidation treatment. Process description: Place the titanium rod in a high-temperature atmosphere to thicken the oxide film on its surface. The thickness of the oxide film increases with the increase of temperature and time. Effect: This method is effective for various types of corrosion and crevice corrosion of titanium, and the method is relatively simple. Limitations: Durability is not reliable enough, as the thickened oxide film will become thinner over time in a corrosive environment, leading to corrosion. Wet coating method: Process description: Mainly plating Cr and Ni-P on titanium rods. Due to the difficulty of directly plating Cr on titanium rods, Ni is usually plated first, followed by Cr. Effect: The electrolytic method has a fast film formation speed and a thickness of several micrometers, making it an effective wear-resistant surface treatment method. Thermal diffusion method: Process description: Glow discharge plasma is used to destroy the oxide film on the surface of titanium, followed by nitriding. Effect: The thickness of the nitride film can be increased from 0.7um to 5.0um, with a surface hardness of 1200-1600Hv and good wear resistance. Welding method: Process description: Use plasma transfer arc for surface welding and hardening modification of titanium plate. Effect: It has excellent wear resistance, simple method, and can prevent the decline of mechanical properties. Limitations: Limited to handling thicker large workpieces. Sputtering method: Process description: Using a plasma jet and high-speed air jet, the dropped molten metal is sprayed onto the surface of a titanium rod. Effect: High production efficiency, but insufficient adhesion of coating. Precious metal coating: Process description: Coating precious metals (such as Pd, Ru) or their oxides (such as PdO, RuO2) on the surface of titanium. Effect: Significantly improve the corrosion resistance of titanium, and the corrosion resistance of the coated material can rival that of Ti/0.15Pd alloy. Limitations: When used for a long time in fluids or fluids containing solids, precious metal films may peel off from the titanium surface. In summary, there are various surface treatment processes for titanium rods, each with its unique advantages and limitations. In practical applications, we need to choose appropriate surface treatment processes based on specific usage environments and requirements to enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of titanium rods, and improve their overall performance.
