Boronizing (Boriding)
Ultra-hard boron diffusion coatings achieving RC75+ surface hardness—harder than tungsten carbide—that protect metal components from severe erosion, wear, and abrasion in oil, mining, and petrochemical applications.
VaporKote delivers advanced industrial coating technology solutions—from precision boronizing and aluminizing to PVD and thermal diffusion coatings—engineered to dramatically extend component life and slash maintenance costs. Serving aerospace, petrochemical, mining, and oil production industries from our Anaheim, CA facility, our coatings consistently outperform conventional surface treatments in the most demanding environments.
Comprehensive surface engineering solutions designed to maximize component performance, longevity, and resistance across demanding industrial environments.
Ultra-hard boron diffusion coatings achieving RC75+ surface hardness—harder than tungsten carbide—that protect metal components from severe erosion, wear, and abrasion in oil, mining, and petrochemical applications.
High-temperature aluminum diffusion coatings delivering superior protection against oxidation and corrosion for heat exchangers, fasteners, wire cloth, and critical components in aerospace and refining industries.
Versatile physical vapor deposition coatings—including CRN, TIN, AL-N, and ZRN—customized to optimize wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal conductivity for each component's unique challenge.
On-site formulated powder-mix coatings that create metallurgical alloys through high-temperature processes, delivering exceptional wear and corrosion resistance that outperforms conventional surface treatments.
Cutting-edge surface hardening technology that infuses nitrogen into metal components, transforming molecular structure to deliver unparalleled wear resistance for gears, shafts, and precision industrial parts.
Tailored thermal processes—including annealing, tempering, quenching, and case hardening—that optimize mechanical properties, relieve stress, and refine microstructure to meet stringent industry requirements.
VaporKote's coating technologies go far beyond the surface. By forming true metallurgical bonds—not merely surface films—our diffusion coatings deliver protection that endures the harshest industrial conditions. Southern California's diverse manufacturing and aerospace sectors demand coatings that hold up under continuous mechanical stress and chemical exposure, and VaporKote's precision processes answer that call. From our Anaheim facility, we serve clients across oil production, petrochemical refining, mining, and pulp & paper, helping them save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in reduced downtime and extended component life.

At VaporKote, your equipment's longevity is our mission.
Coating technologies are specialized processes that apply protective or functional layers to the surface of metal and industrial components. These include diffusion coatings (like boronizing and aluminizing), physical vapor deposition (PVD), thermal diffusion, and surface hardening techniques such as IonPlasma nitriding. The goal is to improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, hardness, and overall component longevity in demanding industrial environments.
Our coating specialists are ready to help you find the right solution for your components.
Full adherence to internationally recognized engineering material and process standards.
Coating processes validated against API and SAE industry codes for oil and manufacturing sectors.
Over three decades of trusted industrial coating service since 1987.
