BorTec’s industry expertise:
Wear protection through modern processes
For over 30 years, BorTec has been the leading partner when it comes to significantly increasing the service life and operational reliability of highly stressed metal components. Using our patented processes such as BOROCOAT® boronizing and BORINOX® stainless steel hardening, we solve complex challenges relating to abrasive wear, corrosion, and cold welding. Our in-depth material and process expertise is the basis for our role as a reliable specialist in surface hardening in eight key industries. Find your industry and learn how we can make your components more robust and efficient.
ARMATURES AND VALVES
Reduction of cold welding and abrasion wear in valves through boronizing and BORINOX.
AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
Protection against wear in automotive engineering and vehicle technology: We improve the service life of components in engines and transmissions.
POWER PLANT TECHNOLOGY
Wear protection at high temperatures and pressures for turbines and control valves.
HARVESTING MACHINERY
Maximum service life and corrosion protection for components and harvesting machines that are exposed to extremely abrasive wear.
FOOD TECHNOLOGY
Hardening stainless steel in food technology: corrosion resistance and hygiene, as well as protection against surface damage and wear.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Reliable wear protection for components that cannot be hardened conventionally, made possible by boriding and nitriding.
OIL & GAS
Protection against H2S and CO2 corrosion and abrasion wear for OCTG downhole tubing, wellheads, and critical valves.
POWERTOOLS
Increased fatigue strength and wear resistance through boronizing and nitriding for power tools.
Core expertise: Processes, products, and solutions for your industry
Whether you need extreme wear protection, want to prevent corrosion, or significantly increase the service life of your components, BorTec offers a unique combination of finishing processes and specialty products. These technologies increase quality and competitiveness while reducing your carbon footprint.
Surface hardening and refinement: For maximum wear resistance
Our innovative thermochemical processes are the key to optimizing highly stressed components in automotive engineering, valve technology, and beyond.
BORONIZING: Application of the hard BOROCOAT® process for extremely hard surfaces and excellent wear protection, even at extremely high temperatures.
HARDENING OF STAINLESS STEEL: With our BORINOX® process, we increase the hardness of stainless steel and nickel-based alloys without compromising corrosion resistance.
NITRIDING:Protection against abrasion, cavitation, and fatigue of many types of steel by means of nitriding and nitrocarburizing, particularly suitable for alloy steels.
NICKEL PLATING: Chemical nickel as acid-resistant corrosion protection against aggressive media by applying a nickel-phosphorus layer.
Products & expertise: Technology that sets standards
The portfolio includes proprietary products and technologies that expand our core competence in the field of surface hardening. We thus offer both specialty products for critical applications and technology delivery for end users.
PREMIUM TUBING: BOROCOAT® Premium OCTG Tubing from Bortec is a high-performance solution for oil and gas companies struggling with internal wear, erosion, and acid corrosion.
EKABOR® BORONOZING AGENT: Provision of our proprietary boron technology with EKABOR® as a means for licensed production or in-house application.
