Boronizing (Boriding)
Ultra-hard boron diffusion coatings achieving RC75+ equivalency (1500 Knoop hardness) that shield components against severe erosion, wear, and abrasion — dramatically extending service life and reducing costly replacements.
VaporKote delivers precision-engineered coating solutions purpose-built for automotive and industrial facilities demanding maximum component longevity. From high-temperature aluminizing to ultra-hard boronizing achieving RC75+ surface hardness, our diffusion coating technologies protect critical assets against wear, erosion, and corrosion — reducing downtime and saving facilities hundreds of thousands annually in maintenance costs.
Comprehensive surface treatment and coating solutions engineered to protect, harden, and extend the life of critical industrial components.
Ultra-hard boron diffusion coatings achieving RC75+ equivalency (1500 Knoop hardness) that shield components against severe erosion, wear, and abrasion — dramatically extending service life and reducing costly replacements.
High-temperature aluminum diffusion coatings that provide superior corrosion and oxidation resistance for heat exchangers, fasteners, reactor screens, and other critical components operating in demanding thermal environments.
Versatile Physical Vapor Deposition coatings — including CRN, TIN, AL-N, and ZRN variants — customized to optimize wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal conductivity for each component's unique requirements.
Cutting-edge nitrogen surface hardening technology that transforms the molecular structure of gears, shafts, and industrial parts — delivering enhanced wear resistance and unparalleled durability for demanding applications.
High-temperature metallurgical alloy coatings formulated from on-site powder mixes that fuse protective layers into the base metal, providing exceptional wear and corrosion resistance that outperforms competing surface treatments.
Precision thermal processing — including annealing, stress relieving, hardening, and quenching — that optimizes the mechanical properties, microstructure, and durability of metal components to meet stringent industry requirements.
Automotive and industrial facilities in Southern California and beyond face relentless demands on component integrity — from abrasive media and corrosive fluids to extreme heat cycles. VaporKote's diffusion coating technologies penetrate the base metal at a molecular level, forming permanent protective compounds that outlast conventional surface treatments. With state-of-the-art furnaces capable of processing parts up to 68 inches in diameter and over 37 years of metallurgical expertise, we deliver coatings that keep your facility running efficiently and your maintenance budgets under control.
