applications
and in the assembly of complex electronic or mechanical devices. Titanium
is an extremely
hard, durable metal used in a variety of applications. Titanium
anodizing is a specialized capability which is not standard
throughout the metal finishing industry. It is, however, essential
to manufacturers who are relying more and more on the strength
and applicability of titanium products in today’s high-tech
markets.

| PROCESS |
| Anodizing
itself is a process that adjusts the oxide level of metal
surfaces. This adjustment changes the spectrum of light,
resulting in perceived color. By precisely specifying the
surface oxide level, an entire range of colors can be produced.
Anodizing is not a coating, nor does it use dyes. Therefore,
the integrity and properties of the base metal along with
its suitability in biomedical applications are not compromised. |

APPLICATIONS
Color coding
of components and devices greatly reduces errors in assembly
or use. In medical applications,
coding for size allows instant recognition of needed parts
when time and accuracy are critical.
Implants, instruments and device components can be coded with
standardized or specialty colors to increase efficiency during
surgery. In aerospace or other highly technical applications,
color coding provides unambiguous identification of parts for
ease, speed and accuracy of assembly. |
