TECO (Thermo-Electro-Chemical Oxidation)
Thermo-Electro-Chemical Oxidation: This technology leverages the synergistic effects of micro-plasma discharge, thermochemistry, and electrochemistry to in-situ grow a ceramic coating predominantly composed of the substrate metal oxide on the metal surface. It represents a new-generation, environmentally friendly surface functional ceramic modification technique for valve metals and their alloys.
The technology originated in Russia and, after three generations of scientists diligently conducting research in a relay-style manner and undergoing numerous iterative upgrades, the laboratory now masters the world’s latest-generation TECO technology.
Material growth
Principle of ceramic growth: A multi-layered, porous nanoceramic film is grown in situ on the surface of a metal substrate via plasma discharge oxidation.
Physical Chemistry Synergy: Gas plasma discharge, liquid plasma discharge, electrochemical processes, thermochemical processes, crystal growth, melting and solidification.
Functional ceramics
Layered Gradient Micropores: Constructing a multi-layered, gradient microporous ceramic structure as the ceramic matrix for composite materials enables flexible combination of various material types.
Adjustable organizational structure: The ceramic matrix can exhibit both crystalline and amorphous states, and its grain boundary characteristics, microelement composition, and surface morphology are tunable.
Multifunctional Armor for Metal and Alloy Surfaces
● Suitable for valve metals (Al, Mg, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ta)
● Special porous volcanic morphology;
● The substrate and the film are metallurgically bonded, resulting in high bonding strength;
● Ceramic membranes exhibit high hardness, wear resistance, and self-lubricating properties.
● Adjustable film thickness (3–300 μm)
● Adjustable film hardness (400–1800 HV)
● Green processes, environmentally friendly;
● Multi-functional and adaptable to multiple scenarios.
TECO+
Metal Surface Treatment Technology
Using thermoelectrochemical oxidation technology (TECO), functional ceramic coating layers are grown in situ on the surfaces of valve metals and their alloys. By continuously adjusting and optimizing electrical parameters, chemical parameters, equipment control parameters, and other relevant factors, we significantly enhance the performance characteristics of these functional ceramic coatings, providing customers with customized solutions.
Metal Body Enhancement Technology
By introducing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene (Gr) as reinforcing phases into metal matrices, it is possible to enhance the mechanical properties of metals, such as strength and wear resistance, as well as their physical properties, such as electrical conductivity. This approach is suitable for addressing the need for bulk reinforcement in a variety of metal substrates.
