SIFCO Applied Surface Conceptsrnhas developed a process to selectivelyrnbrush plate adherent deposits onto Ti 6-4 and Ti 6-6-2 to improve the surface properties of localized areas on components for either OEM or repair applications. The technology optimizes the adhesion of the deposit to titanium alloys by effective removal of titanium's passive oxide and micro-roughening to increase surface area. This micrograph shows a Ti 6-4 Grade 5 base plated with 0.0014" of nickel, followed by 0.014" of copper that is capped with 0.0023" of nickel. Brush-plated deposits consistently meet the adhesion requirements of AMS 2451 and ASTM B 571 (bend test method), with no hydrogen embrittlement per GM 3661P.
