What is Plasox®?
Plasox® is a proprietary plasma-based nitriding post-oxidation surface treatment that produces a protective coating resistant to aggressive environmental conditions. The most critical factor of the Plasox® process is controlled oxidation, where magnetite is formed, providing exceptional corrosion resistance.
Advantages of Plasox®
Corrosion Protection
Protection from rust and other forms of corrosion.
Wear Resistance
Improved wear resistance for demanding industrial applications.
Reduced Friction
Enhanced anti-friction properties for moving and sliding components.
Black Finish
Provides an aesthetically pleasing black appearance.
Surface Integrity
No surface pitting, flaking, or hydrogen embrittlement.
Salt Spray Resistance
Easily surpasses 150 hours of salt spray testing per ASTM B117.
Surface Hardness
Achieves surface hardness of 70+ HRC.
Complete Coverage
Provides 100% part coverage.
Compound Zone
Produces a thick compound zone, or white layer, up to 0.0015″.
The Plasox® process creates a multi-layer surface structure designed to improve corrosion resistance, wear performance, hardness, and friction characteristics while maintaining the dimensional integrity of the component.
Environmentally Friendly
Plasox® provides a durable alternative to many hot-dip coating and plating processes.
