Summer is just around the corner, and for many it is time to slow down and recharge. As always \u2013 our furnaces will keep running throughout the summer across all treatment centers, ready to support your business whenever needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this edition of our newsletter, you will find a selection of exciting updates: We\u2019ve launched a redesigned website to make it easier for you to explore our technologies. You will also learn about ExpanitePureLow-T \u2013 our brand-new low-temperature hardening process for stainless steel improving galling resistance  without releasing internal stresses or affecting tight tolerances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also updated  our corporate brochure to give you a quick and clear overview of Expanite and how to access our patented, sustainable solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we share insights from our independently verified Life Cycle Analysis \u2013 because with Expanite surface hardening you can improve performance and<\/em> reduce environmental impact. we wish you a great summer when the time comes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precision Hardening Without Distortion: Meet ExpanitePureLow-T<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Expanite is proud to introduce our newest low-temperature surface hardening process:  ExpanitePureLow-T <\/strong>developed for components where precision and dimensional stability are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters:
\u2022 No distortion \u2013 even on tight-tolerance parts
\u2022 No compromise on dimensional tolerances even after machining processes \u2022 No costly rework due to thermal stress

Technical highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Surface hardness > 900 HV (expanded austenite)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 400\u00d7 better galling resistance on austenitic stainless steel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ExpanitePureLow-T is a strong alternative to competing diffusion processes and coating processes such as hard-chrome plating, or friction- and adhesion-reducing coatings incl. PVD\/DLC that all have shortcomings including delamination or spallation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surface Hardening – but What About the Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pressure to report on environmental impact is rising \u2014 and for many companies, that includes emissions and material usage across the entire supply chain, including upstream processes like surface hardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the risk?
Traditional methods such as hard chrome plating, PVD, or nitriding often involve toxic chemicals, hazardous waste, and high CO\u2082 emissions all of which may need to be disclosed under tightening environmental standards.

With Expanite, you are covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No solvents, no toxic waste, CO\u2082-efficient design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future-proof your surface hardening and your sustainability reporting.Expanite offers full transparency on the environmental footprint of our surface hardening and heat treatment processes, supported by independently verified Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). Reach out to one of our experts to request your copy of the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
