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.
