In the hot stamping of titanium and other high-performance metals, oxidation during heating can lead to costly surface defects and post-processing challenges. GinShiCel supports this process by functioning as a temporary suspension aid and rheology modifier in ceramic powder slurries used to protect the metal surface during high-temperature forming.

When applied to the metal as a coating, the GinShiCel-stabilized slurry ensures even ceramic dispersion, uniform film thickness, and controlled drying. This results in a smooth, consistent layer of ceramic that adheres well to the substrate.

During heating, the ceramic powder melts into a molten glass layer that shields the metal from oxidation throughout the stamping process. As the metal cools, the glassy layer fractures cleanly and falls away, leaving behind a precise, oxidation-free surface — without the need for polishing, even in complex geometries.

Importantly, GinShiCel’s role ends at the drying stage. Like other organic components in the system, it burns off cleanly during the high-temperature melt, leaving no residue that could interfere with the protective function or dimensional integrity of the ceramic layer.
