Powdertech TiZr and the new Morgan Plus Six
We are excited to be working with Fablink on the new Morgan Plus Six built around an entirely new platform and billed as the most dynamically capable Morgan ever produced. Morgan’s innovative CX Generation platform is a bonded aluminium and ash construction, assembled at Fablink’s Brixworth site. A total of 160 component parts make up the chassis, held together using a heat cure adhesive and over 1000 structural monobolts and self-piercing rivets, along with 450 threaded inserts. At Powdertech Surface Science we apply a TiZr coating to the numerous aluminium extrusions and turned parts, in a ten stage PLC controlled immersion treatment process which cleans and etches the aluminium surface removing the existing oxide deposit and converting it to a consistent TiZr oxide layer. This layer greatly improves the durability of the heat cured adhesive resulting in an incredibly strong, rigid and lightweight structure weighing less than 100kg.
