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 simply, Expanite.<\/p>\n<p>With the Expanite process it\u2019s possible to increase the surface hardness of stainless steels by up to 10 times, while maintaining or even enhancing corrosion resistance. This method is considered unique since it\u2019s suitable for austenitic-, ferritic-, martensitic and duplex stainless steels. Parts can be treated with extremely short lead times\u2014a few days\u2014which is previously unseen within surface hardening of stainless steel. <\/p>\n<p>The Expanite technology can significantly increase the value of products across many industries\u2014from knives, valves, mixers, and grinders for the food industry, to pumps and extruder screws, or injection parts for the automotive sector, as well as screws, bolts, and washers. <\/p>\n<p>At its core, Expanite offers 3 different processes, each of which can be optimized according to customers\u2019 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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><p>\n        <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Expanite_Abrasion_Test_G65.pdf\">ASTM G65 Abrasive Wear Test Results <\/a>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HS-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Surface Hardening Expert\"><\/p>\n<h1>Need assistance?<\/h1>\n<div>Our team is available across all time zones to assist you with any inquiries.<br \/>\nShare your challenges with us, and we\u2019ll work together to find the perfect solution.<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/expanite.com\/surface-hardening-heat-treatment-contact-experts\/\">Find Expanite Near You <\/a>\n    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\n        <a href=\"tel:004528196443\">+45 2819 6443<\/a>\n    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.zohopublic.com\/thomasabelsandholdt\/form\/Letushelp\/formperma\/HSzRaqV0nghd7JGxHm53zxMQyrI3eMWFfn_Q_tYMYJg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a>\n    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!-- {\"type\":\"layout\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"height\":\"viewport\",\"height_viewport\":60,\"height_viewport_offset\":true,\"image_loading\":true,\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"image_size\":\"cover\",\"image_width\":\"2560\",\"media_overlay\":\"rgba(0, 30, 53, 0.39)\",\"padding_bottom\":\"large\",\"padding_top\":\"large\",\"style\":\"secondary\",\"text_color\":\"light\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"bottom\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"image\",\"props\":{\"image\":\"wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/arrow-down.svg\",\"image_alt\":\"Surface hardening\",\"image_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"image_width\":45,\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"default\"}},{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"Abrasive wear ASTM G65 test results using <span class=\\\"uk-text-warning\\\">SuperExpanite Hardening<\/span>\",\"content_de_de\":\"Ergebnisse der ASTM G65-Pr\u00fcfung zum abrasiven Verschlei\u00df unter Verwendung der SuperExpanite-H\u00e4rtung.\",\"content_fr_fr\":\"R\u00e9sultats des essais d'usure par abrasion selon la norme ASTM G65 avec le proc\u00e9d\u00e9 de durcissement SuperExpanite\",\"content_it_it\":\"Risultati della prova di usura da abrasione secondo la norma ASTM G65 con il trattamento di indurimento SuperExpanite\",\"image_align\":\"left\",\"image_margin\":\"xsmall\",\"margin_bottom\":\"small\",\"margin_top\":\"small\",\"maxwidth\":\"2xlarge\",\"maxwidth_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"title_color\":\"success\",\"title_element\":\"h1\",\"title_style\":\"heading-small\"}}]}]}],\"name\":\"Hero\"},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding_bottom\":\"xsmall\",\"padding_top\":\"xsmall\",\"style\":\"primary\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"breadcrumbs\",\"props\":{\"show_current\":true,\"show_home\":true}}]}]}]},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding_bottom\":\"none\",\"style\":\"default\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"vertical_align\":\"\",\"width\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"props\":{\"column_gap\":\"large\",\"layout\":\"2-3,1-3\",\"margin_bottom\":\"medium\",\"margin_top\":\"medium\",\"row_gap\":\"large\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"width_medium\":\"2-3\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"ASTM G65 Austenitic Wear Test\",\"content_fr_fr\":\"MARTENSITIQUE GRIPPAGE r\u00e9sultats du tests ASTM G98\\n\",\"content_it_it\":\"Test di grippaggio martensitico G98\",\"image_align\":\"left\",\"image_margin\":\"xsmall\",\"title_element\":\"h2\",\"title_style\":\"heading-small\"}},{\"type\":\"text\",\"props\":{\"column_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"content\":\"\n\n<p>Outstanding abrasive wear test results on austenitic stainless steel after SuperExpanite Surface Hardening.<\/p>\n\n\",\"content_fr_fr\":\"Le grippage est un probl\u00e8me omnipr\u00e9sent pour l'acier inoxydable, m\u00eame sur l'acier inoxydable martensitique trait\u00e9 avec un durcissement sous vide standard.\",\"content_it_it\":\"Il grippaggio \u00e8 un problema diffuso per gli acciai inossidabili -

Expanite treatment effectively removes the oxide film covering stainless steels. 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 simply, Expanite.<\/p>\n\n\\n\n\n<p>With the Expanite process it\u2019s possible to increase the surface hardness of stainless steels by up to 10 times, while maintaining or even enhancing corrosion resistance. This method is considered unique since it\u2019s suitable for austenitic-, ferritic-, martensitic and duplex stainless steels. Parts can be treated with extremely short lead times\u2014a few days\u2014which is previously unseen within surface hardening of stainless steel. \n\nThe Expanite technology can significantly increase the value of products across many industries\u2014from knives, valves, mixers, and grinders for the food industry, to pumps and extruder screws, or injection parts for the automotive sector, as well as screws, bolts, and washers. \n\nAt its core, Expanite offers 3 different processes, each of which can be optimized according to customers\u2019 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. <\/p>\n\n\",\"content_fr_fr\":\"Le processus de traitement thermique d'Expanite pour les aciers inoxydables martensitiques tels que l'EN 1.4021 ou la norme am\u00e9ricaine AISI 420A utilis\u00e9 dans cette \u00e9tude se compose de trois \u00e9tapes distinctes. La premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape consiste \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser une nitruration en solution \u00e0 haute temp\u00e9rature d'environ 1 mm de profondeur, ce qui permet d'augmenter la duret\u00e9 de la surface (jusqu\u2019\u00e0 100 HV au-dessus du noyau) et d'am\u00e9liorer la r\u00e9sistance aux piq\u00fbres, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une teneur en azote diffus pouvant atteindre 1,0 % en poids.

La prima \u00e8 la nitrurazione in soluzione ad alta temperatura a circa 1 mm di profondit\u00e0, che garantisce un aumento della durezza superficiale (anche 100 HV in pi\u00f9 rispetto al nucleo) e una migliore resistenza alla vaiolatura, grazie a un contenuto di azoto diffuso fino a 1,0 wt%. \n\n<p> \n\n<p>Il secondo passo \u00e8 un trattamento di raffreddamento profondo sotto zero, che assicura una struttura martensitica omogenea in tutto il pezzo. Infine, viene effettuato un rinvenimento a bassa temperatura per migliorare la tenacit\u00e0 del nucleo. Questo trattamento fornisce risultati eccellenti nelle prove condotte in laboratorio, come il test ASTM G98, e pu\u00f2 essere facilmente applicato ai pezzi in acciaio inossidabile martensitico per migliorarne notevolmente l'applicabilit\u00e0.\",\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"default\"}},{\"type\":\"fragment\",\"props\":{\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"props\":{\"layout\":\"1-2,1-2\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"width_medium\":\"1-2\"}},{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"width_medium\":\"1-2\"}}]}]},{\"type\":\"divider\",\"props\":{\"divider_element\":\"hr\",\"divider_style\":\"icon\",\"margin_bottom\":\"large\",\"margin_top\":\"large\"}},{\"type\":\"button\",\"props\":{\"fullwidth\":false,\"grid_column_gap\":\"small\",\"grid_row_gap\":\"small\",\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"default\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"button_item\",\"props\":{\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"content\":\"ASTM G65 Abrasive Wear Test Results \",\"content_de_de\":\"Testergebnis herunterladen (PDF)\",\"content_fr_fr\":\"T\u00e9l\u00e9charger le r\u00e9sultat du test (PDF)\",\"content_it_it\":\"Scarica il risultato del test (PDF)\",\"dialog_layout\":\"modal\",\"dialog_offcanvas_flip\":true,\"icon_align\":\"left\",\"link\":\"wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Expanite_Abrasion_Test_G65.pdf\",\"link_fr_fr\":\"wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Essai_Grippage_ASTMG98_Martensitique_ExpaniteHighT.pdf\",\"link_target\":true,\"link_title_de_de\":\"Testergebnis herunterladen (PDF)\",\"link_title_fr_fr\":\"T\u00e9l\u00e9charger le r\u00e9sultat du test (PDF)\",\"link_title_it_it\":\"Scarica il risultato del test (PDF)\"}}],\"name\":\"need help buttons\"}]},{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"position_sticky\":\"column\",\"position_sticky_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"position_sticky_offset\":\"90\",\"width_medium\":\"1-3\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"module_position\",\"props\":{\"breakpoint\":\"m\",\"content\":\"sidebar\",\"layout\":\"stack\"}},{\"type\":\"image\",\"props\":{\"image\":\"wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HS-scaled.jpg\",\"image_alt\":\"Surface Hardening Expert\",\"image_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"margin_bottom\":\"default\",\"margin_top\":\"default\"}},{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"content\":\"Need assistance?\",\"content_de_de\":\"Ben\u00f6tigen Sie Unterst\u00fctzung?\",\"content_fr_fr\":\"Besoin d\u2019aide ?\",\"content_it_it\":\"Hai bisogno di assistenza?\",\"image_align\":\"left\",\"image_margin\":\"xsmall\",\"title_element\":\"h1\"},\"name\":\"CTA Headline Languages\"},{\"type\":\"text\",\"props\":{\"column_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"content\":\"Our team is available across all time zones to assist you with any inquiries.\\nShare your challenges with us, and we\u2019ll work together to find the perfect solution.\",\"content_de_de\":\"\n\n<p>Unser Team steht Ihnen weltweit zur Verf\u00fcgung und hilft Ihnen gerne bei Ihren Anfragen.
