Minimox^™ Nanocrystalline Alloy Treatment video is now on YouTube.com.

The video demonstrates short-term oxidation improvement of 410 stainless steel at high temperature. Long-term oxidation resistance has also been displayed. After coating and suitable oxidation, the surface of the stainless steel is a beneficial combination of chromium oxide and chromium-manganese-oxygen spinel, even though there is no chromium or manganese in the Minimox™ solution. The driving forces for surface diffusion are radically changed by the presence of Minimox™ Nanocrystalline Alloy Treatment. The alloy has become self-protective.

SEE OUR WEBSITE:  www.Minimox.com to learn the details of the new Minimox solution (patent-pending) for improving self-protection of aluminum, stainless steel, nickel and super-alloys in elevated temperature and corrosive applications. Reduce material scaling & corrosion with a water-based treatment that can be applied in the field and inside complicated geometries.

Minimox^™ surface treatments are designed to boost alloy performance under challenging processing conditions of elevated temperature (up to 2000^°F or 1100^°C) and/or corrosion.

• Single component process
• Water-based
• Can be applied in the field without special equipment using spray, brush, or dip
• Can be applied inside and on complicated geometries
• No volatile hydrocarbons
• Economical (pennies/square foot)

After coating, alloys heated in air exhibit a thin, adherent & dense scale, rather than a thick, flaking oxide scale. In many instances, the thin oxide layer provides astonishing corrosion resistance.

The treatment causes the alloy to become more “self-protective” after thermal oxidation. The composition of the ultimate protective coating is primarily a function of the alloy, not the coating material.

The process is environmentally friendly and can be applied in the field. Alloy types include stainless steels, nickel alloys, superalloys, and aluminum alloys.
