One of the questions we are commonly asked is whether TiZr treatments can deliver equivalent bond strength and durability to anodised treatments. We have conducted an extensive side-by-side test programme comparing our proprietary, optimised TiZr treatment to an industry standard anodised treatment using a 1K heat cured structural epoxy adhesive. Funded by Innovate and we worked with partners TWI and LEVC, a non-grant-bearing partner. Our tests included process capability and durability study of the lap joints, cyclic corrosion and SWAAT testing. Our optimised TiZr process can match the bond strength and durability of anodised treatments and has the added advantage of being a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.
