10.10.2.1 Activation of metals
As a matter of principle it is possible to activate metals, but the activation is very unsteady and
therefore just of short shelf life.
Activated metal has to be processed very fast (within half an hour, max. one hour), because the
adherent radicals and ions react fast with the particles of the air.
Nearly any material can be treated with oxygen, except easily corrosive materials as f.e. copper.

(The process parameters power and time have to be adapted according to the specification of the machine (type
of generator, power of generator, type of electrode) and according to the properties of the product/sample.)
