3D printing with the material titanium, enables the production of innovative products.However, this form of production often leaves behind residues and thus contamination in the form of loose or semi-molten powder particles.These impurities are undesirable and must be removed in a process-safe manner to achieve a high-quality product.For the removal of these residues, Hegedüs has developed a special refinement process – “Titanium acid etching”.Furthermore, this process can be used to individually optimize the surface structure (surface roughness) and brightness of products.
A whole range of innovative products in the field of medical engineering and in industrial production facilities are now produced from titanium using 3D printing techniques. The 3D printing technology makes it possible to create complex and geometrically intricate products.
Unfortunately, residues in the form of loose or semi-melted powder particles are always left behind in the inner geometries of such products, especially when 3D printing titanium. These impurities are undesirable and must be removed in a process-safe manner if a high-quality product is to be achieved.
Viktor Hegedüs titanium acid etching refinement process
The name Viktor Hegedüs has stood for extraordinary innovations and high-quality precision in the fields of medical technology and industrial applications for many years now.
In the field of surface refinement of titanium, Hegedüs with its anodising (dark and colour) and acid etching services as well as the Recolor technology is one of the largest service providers in Europe. The service and product portfolio is successfully complemented by the patented colour-coding system ART-tech® and a wide range of surface finishing services.
The proprietary titanium acid etching refinement process allows Viktor Hegedüs GmbH to remove the impurities without leaving any residues. In addition, the technology makes it possible to optimise the surface structure (surface roughness) and brightness of the products to suit the individual customer requirements.
