Hardning performance Expanite improving wear, galling and corrosion resistance

Hardening results with Expanite processes

At Expanite, we believe in proof through performance.

Our surface hardening and heat treatment test results  demonstrate that Expanite hardening processes  improve wear, galling and corrosion resistance,  extending lifetime for stainless steel and titanium parts.

Our results are based on international standards, including ASTM G133 wear tests and ASTM G98 galling tests, performed on stainless steel and titanium parts.


The results confirms that the Expanite surface hardening process significantly improves wear, galling, and corrosion resistance.

Improving Performance

By improving wear, galling and corrosion resistance, the Expanite surface hardening technology reduce unplanned downtime, replacement frequency, and maintenance costs.

Benefits with surface hardening
Wear Resistance on Stainless Steel and Titanium

What is Wear resistance?

Even stainless steel and other high-value alloys can suffer from abrasive wear, sliding wear and repeated mechanical contact. Expanite surface hardening is designed to increase surface hardness and wear resistance, helping components last longer in demanding operating environments.
Corrosion Resistance Stainless Steel and Titanium

What is Galling Resistance

Galling is a common failure mechanism in stainless steel assemblies where surfaces seize, stick or cold-weld under load. Expanite surface hardening improves galling resistance and is relevant for components such as valves, fasteners, pump parts, shafts, bearings, fittings and moving assemblies.
