   BLAZE boron diffusion is a second generation boronization that creates more Fe2B on the surface creating a thick (0.006\") durable (2200 Knoop hardness) and lubricious (0.1 coefficient of friction) wear surface that is second to non for wear, corrosion resistance and lubricity. This process is designed to be incorporated in house at OEM locations to create enhanced products for extreme applications and significantly reduce turn time on component processing. Designed to cost effectively replace Hard Chrome, PVD, and HVOF with an environmentally friendly product. Contact us for more information.
