A Revolution in MEtal Plating and Coating Options
Introducing a Unique Thermal Boron Diffusion Treatment
Our BLAZE ® treatment uses chemistry and heat to produce a hard and slick Inter-metallic non-brittle layer at the surface of metal parts that provides extreme wear and abrasion resistance. Not a coating, the outer surface of the host material is transformed to an inter-metallic Boride from the original surface down to the penetration depth, without dimensional change.
The treated surface is extremely hard, yet not brittle, with a very low coefficient of friction, ideal for producing a functional surface to reduce wear and abrasion.
Extreme Abrasion Resistance
BLAZE ® treated surfaces provide extreme wear and abrasion resistance extending the life of your product.
Learn MoreEnvironmentally Safe
The BLAZE ® process is environmentally benign, producing zero hazardous waste to landfill, air, or water.
Extreme Hardness
BLAZE ® wields an extreme hardness of 1800-2300 knoop (harder than Tungsten carbide). This is achieved without unwanted FEB.
Permanent Lubrication
The BLAZE ® surface provides permanent lubrication regardless of load, producing the ultimate functional surface.
Replacement Technology
BLAZE ® is an ideal replacement for Hexavalent Hard Chrome, Iron Nitriding, PVD, CVD, HVOF, Carbonitriding, and Boronizing. Less expensive materials can be treated with BLAZE ® and achieve superior results.
Zero Dimensional Change
Because BLAZE ® is infused into the substrate and is not a coating, the treatment is achieved with zero surface distortion or dimensional change.
Impervious to Corrosive Chemicals
Metal surfaces treated with BLAZE ® are impervious to most corrosive chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrogen sulfide.
No Potential for Bond Failure
The BLAZE ® treatment is not a coating, but a surface conversion, removing the risk of bond failure.
Transferable Process
Our process is repeatable and scalable from the diameter of a human hair to a 32' long pipe

See Our Latest Test Results
In an ASTM International G65 Test comparing all the coatings currently used by the oil and gas industry to reduce wear and increase the life of the pump, valve, pipe and other crucial parts, BLAZE ® has the highest wear and abrasion resistance of any of the other technologies available on the market today.
