Patent number: 7291229Abstract: A method of carburizing treatment is proposed in which if carburizing is carried out at a low temperature, carbon will not turn amorphose and deposit on the surface of a titanium metal but reliably penetrate into between metallic atoms. It is a method of surface treatment of a titanium metal comprising the steps of heating the titanium metal to a temperature of 400-690° C. in a cleaning gas atmosphere containing hydrogen gas, subjecting the surface of the titanium metal to cleaning by applying a DC voltage of 200-1500 V, and plasma carburizing in an atmosphere comprising a carburizing gas having an atomic weight ratio of hydrogen atoms (H) to carbon atoms (C) adjusted to 1?H/C?9 at a pressure of 13-400 Pa and a temperature of 400-690° C. Ionization reaction in the gas is suppressed suitably. Because there exists no excessive carbon which is not used for carburization but turns soot or glass-like carbon, in the atmosphere during carburization, carburizing reaction progresses smoothly.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2003Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignees: Osaka Prefecture, Tanaka Limited, SDC IncorporatedInventors: Eiichi Ishii, Takumi Sone, Yukihiro Sato, Kei Demizu, Hideo Kakutani, Koichi Tanaka, Shinichi Tanaka, Noriyoshi Tsuji
