Atmospheric pressure plasma surface modification of titanium for high temperature adhesive bonding

In this investigation surface treatment of titanium is carried out by plasma ion implantation under atmospheric pressure plasma in order to increase the adhesive bond strength. Prior to the plasma treatment, titanium surfaces were mechanically treated by sand blasting. It is observed that the contact angle of de-ionized water decreases with the...

Surface Modification of Titanium by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Treatment for Adhesive Bonding and Its Application to Aviation and Space

Titanium is one of the most effective materials for structural application of space craft and aviation. Titanium alloys are widely used in solid rocket booster cases, guidance control pressure vessel and other different applications demanding light weight and reliability. Aerospace industry is also a larger market for titanium products and...
