Anodizing of dental components (Type II)
Technology
The DOTIZE® anodizing process replaces the thin natural oxide film present at the implant surface by a thick oxide layer. Micropores and cracks in the base material are reduced by the anodisation. The DOTIZE® procedure conforms to the standard AMS 2488 (Aerospace Material Specification).
Properties
- Color: dark gray to anthracite
- Coating thickness: 1–2 µm
- Hardened titanium surface (increase in coating hardness by approx. 25 %)
- Reduced risk of cold welding between components made from titanium
- Increase in fatigue strength
- No changes in the dimensions of the parts
