Frequently Asked Questions
What is Boronizing?
Boronizing is a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) packed cementation process where boron atoms are diffused into the substrate of steel and steel alloys, forming an inter-metallic compound on the surface base metal. Boronizing provides increased wear, corrosion and abrasion resistance.
What is EndurAlloy?
EndurAlloy is Endurance Technologies patented boronizing process which controls the diffusion of boron into a substrate for provide maximum resistance to abrasion, erosion and corrosion - with negligible growth to the original part.
What is the process?
Our technicians pack the part to be treated with boron and other enriched elements before it is loaded into one of our specialized, custom-built furnaces. It is heated at predetermined temperatures for a precise period of time, allowing the heat to vaporize and diffuse the boron into the substrate of the part.
What is EndurAlizing?
EndurAlizing diffuses aluminum into the surface of all types of material, providing increased resistance to high temperature corrosion, sulfidization, oxidation, carburization, scaling and hydrogen permeation while retaining the base metal's original strength and rigidity.
What is EndurAlon?
EndurAlon is Endurance Technologies trademarked alonizing process which increases metal's resistance to abrasion, erosion and corrosion while retaining its original properties.
What is the process?
During our trademarked EndurAlon process, the metal substrate is positioned in a retort and surrounded by a mixture of strategically blended aluminum powders. The retort is hermetically sealed and placed in an atmosphere-controlled furnace. When heated to a precise temperature for a specific time period, the diffusion process is controlled to provide a specific case depth in the substrate material.
After cooling, the substrate is taken from the retort and excess chemical is removed. Straightening, trimming, beveling and other secondary operations are then performed as required.
