What is Carbinite?

Carbinite is a tungsten alloy coating that can be applied to most metals through electrofusion. Applying the product through electrofusion gives us a true metallurgical bond. This high bond strength far surpasses any spray-on coating currently available.

Carbinite not only increases the surface friction but increases the surface hardness of the material up to 72Rc. This is beneficial in any situation where slip and/or wear are an issue.

In applications where an increase in coefficient of friction is desired, we can apply a textured coating in several grades. We can also apply Carbinite where a smooth surface is needed with our wear coating. We offer five standard grades of coating with custom levels available depending on the application.

Benefits of Carbinite:

A Brief History:

This coating was initially developed in 1950’s for the purpose of extending tool and die life expectancy. In some cases the life was extended up to 8 times as long as the same die left untreated. In 1997 Carbinite began developing new technology to reduce turn around time and increase both application consistency and bond strength. Over the years the number of applications we have discovered that have been able to benefit from the use of Carbinite has grown almost exponentially.

With all the new applications we needed to find a way to stay competitive and to keep turn around time as low as possible. Our answer was do develop a robotics system that allows us to cover large surface areas in a timely and economical fashion. We also have a mobile Carbinite service for instances where the item needing coated cannot be shipped in a cost effective manor. We have developed applications for many industries including: Automotive, Steel Making, Machining, Material Handling, Safety, Aerospace and many more.
