The testing, conducted in line with the Council of Europe Resolution CM\/Res(2013)9, specifically targeted scenarios involving repeated food contact. Consequently, Expanite\u2019s surface hardening process has been deemed safe for use in food contact applications.\r\n\r\n The test results underscore the exceptional performance attained through Expanite\u2019s surface hardening technique. The treated AISI 316 stainless steel showcased outstanding resistance and adherence to the rigorous conditions stipulated in the CM\/Res(2013)9 test.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The test<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n The tests was conducted in accordance with the Council of Europe Resolution CM\/Res(2013)9, focusing on repeated food contact scenarios. The CM\/Res(2013)9 is a stringent standard that evaluates the compliance of materials with all types of food, under various contact conditions. These conditions include heating up to 70 \u00b0C for up to 2 hours or up to 100 \u00b0C for up to 15 minutes, without prolonged storage at room temperature or in a refrigerated state.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test parameters<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li><em>Material: AISI 316 Stainless Steel<\/em><\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li><em>Expanite treatment: SuperExpanite20 NC<\/em><\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li><em>Testing Medium: 0.5% Citric Acid<\/em><\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li><em>Temperature: 70 degrees Celsius<\/em><\/li>\r\n \r\n \t<li><em>Duration: 2 hours<\/em><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The test results<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n The tests results show the exceptional performance achieved through Expanite&rsquo;s surface hardening on stainless steel &#8211; the treated AISI 316 stainless steel exhibited remarkable resistance and compliance with the stringent conditions outlined in the CM\/Res(2013)9 test. In the larger perspective, it means that it\u2019s considered safe to apply Expanite surface hardening to on stainless steel \u2013 and thereby combining this safety with superior wear resistance.\r\n\r\n The surface hardening and heat treatment applied by Expanite not only meet but exceed the expectations for materials used in repeated food contact applications. The enhanced properties of the treated stainless steel make it an ideal choice for various industries, including those requiring compliance with strict regulatory standards.\r\n\r\n \r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-39697d9b wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/stainless-steel-world.net\/expanite-achieves-excellent-results-with-superexpanite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download Full Article from Stainless Steel World (English)<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\r\n \r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" style=\"border-radius: 20px; background-color: #256820;\" href=\"https:\/\/expanite.com\/en\/heat-treatment-surface-hardening\"><strong>Learn More About Heat Treatment<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n &nbsp;\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expanite is significantly expanding its operations in North America with a major investment in a<br \/>larger facility, tripling its heat treatment and surface hardening capacity\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsroom","category-expanite-in-the-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1701"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3849,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1701\/revisions\/3849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/expanite.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
