Innovation Award 2022
The A3TS 2022 Innovation Award was given to BODYCOTE with Tinitron, a process for improving the tribological properties of Titanium.
What is the Tinitron process?
The patented Tinitron process optimizes the tribological performance and wear resistance of Titanium and its alloys. This diffusion treatment ensures an excellent metallurgical bond with its substrate, allowing to tolerate relatively high contact pressures compared to other existing surface treatments.
Tinitron is particularly well suited for surface treatment of complex parts, in large numbers and at a moderate cost for various high value-added industries. In addition, its vacuum processing technique is totally environmentally friendly.
