At Advanced Technical Products, we understand the challenges industries face when it comes to protecting metal surfaces during high-temperature processes. Oxidation and decarburization are persistent issues that can degrade metal quality, increase waste, and elevate production costs. That’s why we offer a superior solution: our Oxy-Shield Coatings.
The Problem: Oxidation and Decarburization in High-Temperature Environments
During heat treatment processes like forging, rolling, and annealing, metals are exposed to high temperatures and reactive atmospheres. This exposure often results in oxidation, where oxygen reacts with metal surfaces to form oxide scales. Similarly, decarburization—the loss of carbon from steel surfaces—compromises the metal’s structural integrity. These phenomena not only reduce material efficiency but also necessitate additional finishing steps, driving up production time and costs.
The Solution: Oxy-Shield Coatings
Our Oxy-Shield Coatings are a game-changer. These advanced, water-based coatings are specifically formulated to combat the effects of oxidation and decarburization. By creating a robust barrier on the metal’s surface, Oxy-Shield prevents the diffusion of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, into or out of the metal during heat treatment processes.
