TITANIUM ANODIZING for bone screws and other implants has been a focus of TIODIZE for over thirty years.  In fact, the Tiodize Process has become the international standard for titanium anodizing since  the company first introduced it over forty years ago.  Experience and a dedication to quality keeps medical manufacturers coming back to TIODIZE year after year.

TIODIZE Type II titanium anodizng has been used on bone screws and other implants by some of the largest orthopaedic manfacturers in the world. Type II produces a hard semi-gloss conversion layer. This results in a completely treated and protected part that has no dimensional change from the original base material.

TIODIZE Type III  titanium anodizing offers  a wide selection of colors.  Type III is  produced in an acid bath to provide a thin oxide layer in various colors for part identification.

HARDTUF ALUMINUM ANODIZING.  In addition to titanium anodizing, HARDTUF, a proprietary anodizing process developed by TIODIZE, is an aluminum oxide coating for improving the hardness, lubricity and corrosion resistance of aluminum and aluminum alloys.  One of the popular applications is on molds/die products, where it is used as a mold release to reduce sticking and wear.

In Summary, TIODIZE is an advanced technology company specializing in development and manufacture of products for the prevention of friction, wear and corrosion.  The company was founded in 1966 to fill the need for special coatings which would reduce galling and its associated effects on titanium, along with providing industry a single, reliable source for all of its friction, wear and corrosion needs.

TIODIZE has been committed to the task of developing and producing a full range of advanced products.  Our specialty is solving manufacturers’ problems.  If you have a question or problem related to friction, wear and corrosion, contact TIODIZE at www.tiodize.com/contactus.html

COMPOSITES,  such as fasteners, hinges, pins, screws, and similar small parts have been designed and manufactured by TIODIZE since 1980.  Recently, TIODIZE developed a composite external fixation device.  The main features are:  light weight, X-ray transparent, fatigue and corrosion resistance, and superior strength to weight ratio.



TIODIZE has a demonstrated track record in the production of customer-specific, high-quality parts and products that are manufactured from a wide variety of composite combinations.  These products - ranging from composite fasteners to composite bearings - are custom-made to meet specific complex needs and requirements of our customers.  A more detailed description of our composite capabilities can be found at www.tiodize.com/compositefasteners.html
