It “titanizes” copper to form silvery, wear-resistant coatings and despite its exceptional stability in massive form, it can be used as a powerful reducing agent; in short, it displays a versatility almost inconceivable in one material.
1963, Alfred R. Globus, Titanium Metal Powder, page 17On the basis of these considerations, it may be postulated that, in addition to aluminizing and siliconizing, it is possible in principle to boronize, berylize, titanize, and vanadize metals by the circulation technique, since B, Be, Ti, and V halides of various valences are known to exist and their curves of thermodynamic formation potential plotted as a function of temperature intersect at temperatures which are suitable for coating production.
1970, Protective Coatings on Metals, page 51The results show that it is practicable to titanize by neutral salt bath in the electrode salt bath furnace without crucible.
1996, Zhang Laiqi, Li Musen, Sun Xitai, “Study on Titanizing in Neutral Salt Bath”, in Heat Treatment of Metals, volume 8It was found that the carbon microcoils derived from microwave method are easier to titanize than those derived from conventional method .
