Our Professional Coating Services

Explore our comprehensive range of advanced coating and surface treatment solutions engineered for maximum industrial performance and longevity.

Boronizing (Boriding)

A precision diffusion process that fuses boron into metal surfaces, achieving RC75+ hardness equivalency—harder than tungsten carbide—delivering unmatched erosion and wear protection for critical industrial components.

Aluminizing (Calorizing)

A cost-effective aluminum diffusion coating that provides superior high-temperature corrosion resistance for components used in oil production, petrochemical refining, aerospace, and heat exchanger manufacturing.

PVD Coatings

Versatile Physical Vapor Deposition coatings including CRN, TIN, AL-N, and ZRN, tailored to meet specific application needs for wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal conductivity.

Thermal Diffusion (TD) Coatings

High-temperature metallurgical coating process using on-site formulated powder mixes to create synergistic protective alloys that outperform conventional surface treatments in wear and corrosion resistance.

IonPlasma Nitriding

A cutting-edge surface hardening technology that infuses nitrogen into metal components, transforming molecular structure to enhance wear resistance and extend the operational lifespan of gears, shafts, and industrial parts.

Heat Treatment

Comprehensive thermal processing—including annealing, tempering, quenching, and case hardening—precisely tailored to modify hardness, relieve stress, and optimize mechanical properties of metal components.

Engineered for Longevity

Advanced Protection That Extends Industrial Equipment Life

VaporKote's professional coating services are built for industries where component failure is not an option. Operating from Anaheim, CA since 1987, we serve petrochemical, aerospace, mining, and manufacturing sectors with diffusion coatings that penetrate and bond at the molecular level—not just the surface. Our on-site powder mix formulation, state-of-the-art furnaces capable of processing large components up to 68 inches in diameter, and strict adherence to ASTM, ASME, SAE, and API standards ensure coated parts consistently outperform untreated alternatives, saving clients hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in maintenance costs.
