BORINOX® is a gas-based low-pressure diffusion process for producing a highly wear-resistant surface (expanded austenite/ferrite) on the basis of stainless steel, nickel – and cobalt chromium alloys. A special process control effectively suppresses the precipitation of chromium carbides or nitrides, which would reduce the corrosion resistance. The peripheral layer is produced integrally in the material, forming a hardness gradient to the core. Compared to coatings, there is no risk of cracking or spalling of the functional layer.
BORINOX® protects components of industrial washing machines from abrasive wear while maintaining corrosion resistance
Components of fittings engineering are protected with BORINOX® against abrasion and corroding of the metallic seal combination.
Austenitic bolts of conveyor chains are protected with BORINOX® against cold welding and abrasion.
This cross-section through a connection (austenitic nut and bolt) shows the uniform treatment of the thread with the BORINOX® process. The diffusion zone (clear layer) produced with BORINOX® protects against cold welding / corroding.
The BORINOX® process is suitable for lay parts and also for single large components.
The maximum treatable component dimensions are 1200*2100 mm.
Unit weights of a few grams up to 4.000 kg are possible. The curing occurs very uniformly, gaps and cavities usually do not represent any problems. If necessary, components can also be partially treated.
