What is PIONITE?

PIONITE is our unique process that hardens a metal surface by solid solution diffusion of carbon from the surface of the metal at a low temperature range (no more than 500℃).

Features of PIONITE

◎ Surface hardness is 3 to 4 times that of the base metal

◎ Maintains the corrosion resistance and non-magnetic property of stainless steel

◎ Size fluctuation between before and after treatment is small; adapts to post-treatment deformation (plastic forming is possible after treatment)

Applications of PIONITE

Marine plant parts

Watches

Cutlery

Medical equipment and tools

PIONITE PLUS

For applications that require further strength

PIONITE PLUS maintains PIONITE’s strong corrosion resistance while also achieving durability under even more demanding sliding wear conditions.
