The Carbinite team had a blast at the AISTech (Association for Iron & Steel Technology) show in Pittsburgh. We had a delegation visit our booth that included several representatives from the steel industry and Butler County Chamber of Commerce. One of the delegates in the group included Glenn “GT” Thompson, the Pennsylvania 16th district congressional representative. We had the opportunity to discuss how Carbinite is a dedicated partner to the steel industry. Below is a picture of our CEO, Sue Freyvogel, and Glenn Thompson at our AISTech booth.

As a reminder, AISTech is the Iron & Steel Technology Conference and Exposition, and the event features global technologies that help steel producers compete in today’s market.

We were excited to showcase our Land Speed Racing Streamliner at our booth this year, which you can view below.

Carbinite’s Aluminum USA Presentation

CMCrm2019 — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 03:10:19 +0000

Carbinite Metal Coatings’ founder and president, Rob Freyvogel, presented this content at the Aluminum USA show this past October in Nashville, TN. The presentation, entitled “Using Textured Coatings to Improve Efficiencies in Flat Rolling Applications,” describes Carbinite’s entry into the aluminum industry, the benefits of using textured coatings in a variety of applications within the mill, and the advances that have been made over the years.

James Mull and John Cramer from The Mull Group were also in attendance and participated in a panel discussion after the presentation. Many thanks for their assistance.

Dyno Traction Enhancement

CMCrm2019 — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 21:33:51 +0000

This Press Release was originally submitted April of 2015. In the last three years, we have successfully applied our Carbinite coating to worn dyno drums in a number of shops. We’ve updated the Press Release with the most current information we have about our Chassis Dyno Traction Enhancement Coating.

Carbinite Dyno Traction Enhancement Significantly Reduces Wheel Slip for More Accurate Pulls

Carbinite Metal Coatings is excited to announce the successful application of their state-of-the-art texturing technology to worn chassis dyno drums/rollers. The increased coefficient of friction (COF) obtained by the application of our Carbinite coating eliminates wheel spin during pulls. This improves traction and subsequently allows for more accurate pulls, more repeatable readings, and more precise data collection.

The common methods of texturing chassis dyno drums are thermal sprays and knurling. These are both acceptable methods of increasing the COF between the tire and the drum, but are not without limitation. Thermal sprays and knurls both wear like any other surface. However, once thermal spray or knurling begin to wear, the only way to refurbish the rollers is a complete overhaul including a costly and time-consuming drum removal for reknurling or respraying.

Carbinite has developed a unique automation technique that allows refurbishment on-site without drum removal, reducing your downtime significantly. The average COF from steel to rubber is approximately 0.6. With the application of Carbinite, the COF jumps to over 1.0, almost doubling the effective traction. Rotational mass is not affected and rebalancing is not required. Carbinite is guaranteed to not chip, flake, or peel. Reapplication will not result in any additional build-up.

Carbinite’s textured coatings have been used for decades to enhance grip and prevent slip in many industries including manufacturing, machining, fabricating, safety, oil/gas, and primary metals. Our process has been used to refurbish worn drums in dyno shops ranging in size from your local garage to international testing facilities. Peter Trydte, Compliance Center Manager at Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) had this to say about our service:

Our dyno is performing flawlessly. We know that in its previous condition, tire slip was a big issue, and we have never had a problem with slippage from Day 1 with the Carbinite treatment. We are very satisfied customers!

Carbinite’s Collet Performance Test

CMCrm2019 — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 19:52:03 +0000

Carbinite Metal Coatings is excited to announce the first in a series of tests designed to determine to what extent our textured tungsten-carbide coating affects the coefficient of friction and enhances your workholding applications.

This video summarizes the Collet Performance Test.
