  • Patent number: 6159011
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a titanium and ceramic adhesive composite system, and a titanium and ceramic adhesive system produced therefrom. The system can be used to improve the adhesive of ceramics, intended for pure titanium or titanium alloys, to a structure consisting of pure titanium or a titanium alloy. The improvement is attained in that silicon ions (4) are inserted into the surface (1) of a structure consisting of pure titanium or a titanium alloy by ion implantation with ion beams (3) between the atoms (5) of the titanium or the atoms (5) of the titanium alloy. The silicon ions form a titanium and silicon layer (2) in the surface (1) of the structure in the penetration layer of the ion implantation, on which titanium and silicon layer crystalline, non -metallic inorganic materials are applied, and an adhesive composite is produced with said materials.
