Tailor-Made To Your Needs

Expanite® gaseous surface engineering relies on the understanding of, and meeting the required properties for your application.

When we´re involved in designing the process or the materials selection, it can contribute to a better match to your needs - and ultimately, improve your product to give you a competitive advantage.

Patented Technology

Expanite® is a game-changing surface hardening process for stainless steel coating that will make you and your customers much more competitive.

Our patented and proven technology, scientific know-how and flexible delivery model significantly improves product performance, quality, and reduces costs.

Expanite - Not Another Coating

The Expanite® heat treatment effectively removes the oxide film covering stainless steel.

This allows controlled incorporation of carbon and nitrogen atoms in the underlying metal.

The hardened layer is characterized by an expansion of the material structure. We call this zone expanded austenite, expanded martensite, or siply: Expanite.

We Know Your Industry

Expanite® is a trusted and respected provider of heat treatment technology to many industries. Learn more about this game-changing technology and see how you can benefit from it.
At its core, Expanite offers different processes, each of which can be optimized according to customer requirements in terms of abrasion, galling, corrosion and scratch
resistance. This means that Expanite can develop and customize solutions for a wide variety of companies and industries!

The result already after first test proved overwhelmingly convincing on all parameters and most importantly, the galling phenomenon disappeared completely. There has been no records of damaged parts ever since

Roman Hörbe, Supply Chain Manager - Enpulsion GmbH

We have had a very positive beginning with Expanite, and as the equipment is to deliver more and more and is pushed to the limits, the need for extra hardening of vital components will also increase

Per Brandt - MAN Energy Solution

With the ExpaniteHard-Ti surface hardening, the stressed titanium components will withstand significant wear and thus prevent long-term use of the winch system

Alfred Wegener Institute

We are very satisfied with the impressive results of the unique Expanite technology which completely meets all our demands and expectations. Expanite´s support, knowledge and experience throughout this project have been first-class

Lars Meesmann, - LIAG® LÄUFER International AG

I soon realized that the ExpaniteHard-Ti process was the only matured and commercially available interstitial hardening technology for titanium. The webinar combined with the details of the technology on their web site helped me to develop realistic expectations and I reached out to them

Zsolt Pataki, Capillaris

We have been working with Expanite for more than 15 years now, and besides the innovative treatment technology and performance improvement of our products, we particulary appreciate their short response time and very fast processing time. Moreover, their support is always very competent and they have sympathetic way of communicating

An Tieer 1 and OEM-Supplier - Automotive industry, Germany

We are thrilled and appreciative about the support we have received by the Expanite expert team. With the guidance and recommendations from Expanite, we are convinced that with the Expanite hardening technology we will experience less or no wear on the titanium parts in our race cars

Ignacio Gabilondo, Rennteam Uni Stuttgart

Previously we had problems with our brick joint trowel wearing out too fast, but after surface hardening these with Expanite’s technology, test results showed that the tools last 7 times longer

Jens Seest Knudsen - Murergrej.dk

We are working with Expanite because we know that we always get a premium product - we simply get the right quality at the right time

LHM Strates Maskinfabrik A/S

We know that when working with Expanite, there is plenty of solid advice and sparring to get - and Expanite teach us things to be done differently. Typical characteristics for companies growing successfully

Odd Harry Omholt, Quality Control - Semcom Norway

With the technology that Expanite offers we as a manufacture of hydraulic component in stainless steel, have been able to improve our products in several important areas
