Techmetals, Inc.

Techmetals, Inc. offers a range of aluminum anodizing services that enhance the durability, appearance, and performance of aluminum parts. Our anodizing process creates a controlled oxide layer on the surface of aluminum, which increases resistance to corrosion and wear while providing a durable, attractive finish. We offer Type II and Type III solutions, offering both excellent corrosion resistance and a range of colors to select from. Techmetals’ aluminum anodizing is medically validated.

When it comes to titanium anodizing services, no one can compare with Techmetals, Inc. Our medically validated process is sure to improve a titanium part’s aesthetic appeal, durability, and functionality. This process creates a protective oxide layer on the surface of titanium, which not only provides resistance to corrosion and wear but also allows for unique, vibrant color options. The process is highly controlled and precise, making it ideal for a variety of industries where titanium parts are used, such as the medical, aerospace and optics fields.
(Specifications: AMS 2488)
Colors include: aqua, magenta, light blue, medium blue, dark blue, green, gold, sea-foam green, vector purple, bronze, teal and Type-II gray

Electropolishing is an electrochemical etching process that removes surface imperfections, burrs, and oxidation on stainless steel and aluminum products. This process is widely used for medical components like surgical instruments, implants, and other equipment where it is necessary to reduce the potential for bacterial growth and contamination. Parts are left with a smooth, clean finish. Our automated and medically validated process is ideal for high volume production and can run 24 hours a day.
(Specifications: ASTM A 967, ASTM A 380 & ASTM B 912)

Our MedaPass passivation services help improve the corrosion resistance and overall performance of stainless steel components. Passivation is a chemical process that removes free iron and other contaminants from the surface of the metal — creating a protective oxide layer, improving the material’s resistance to rust and corrosion. Techmetals provides both nitric and citric passivation in our medically validated process.

Techmetals, Inc. provides Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) services, a cutting-edge process used to apply thin, durable, and uniform coatings on metal parts. PVD is a vacuum-based coating technology that involves the vaporization of material, which is then deposited onto a surface to enhance its properties. Our TechCoat PVD services are medically validated, and are commonly used to improve the aesthetics, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of metal components — while also providing a range of colors that will never fade. Such properties make PVD a suitable option for a variety of industries, including the medical field.
The TechCoat PVD line includes TiN, DLC, CrN, ZrN, AlTiN & AlTiCrN solutions.
(Specifications: AMS 2444) Techmetals is one of very few companies that can combine plating processes — as in our titanium anodized bone screws, that make use of PVD heads (TiN and ZrN).

Techmetals, Inc. offers laser marking services to provide precise, permanent, and high-quality markings on a variety of medical instruments including screws, trays, cases and more. Using advanced laser technology, we can mark metals parts with text, logos, serial numbers, bar codes, or other identifiers — ensuring that they meet industry standards for traceability, branding and functional labeling. Techmetals can provide markings small enough to fit on the head of a screw, or large enough to view with the naked eye. Contact us today for large quantity, laser marking projects. Our certified team ensures quick turnaround for the etching of a variety of metal alloys.

TM-Rx Medical Grade Chrome services were designed specifically for medical and healthcare applications that require high-performance coatings. Techmetals’ medical chrome is a durable, bio-compatible and highly resistant coating — developed to meet the stringent requirements of the medical industry. You will find many surgical instruments, implants and medical devices take advantage of this finish — which meets or exceeds ISO 10993-1 Certification, as well as the principles governing the biological evaluation of medical devices. This anti-galling coating provides enhanced wear and corrosion resistance, with parts looking like new, even after 1,000 cycles in an autoclave.
