Zenit develops new hardening process for electric pump hydraulics

Zenit’s Molib-tec coating gives a surface hardness suitable for heavy duty applications.
Zenit’s Molib-tec coating gives a surface hardness suitable for heavy duty applications.

Following detailed research, Zenit has developed Molib-tech, which is an alternative to conventional ceramic coating. The Molib-tech coating technique is defined as"cold" coating, with no high temperatures to cause deformation or stresses in the piece, using molybdenum carbide.This process is particularly suitable for preventing serious wear due to erosion or cavitation on pump impellers, suction flanges and bodies.

The uniform layer of metal coating, evenly applied by a mechanical process, does not cause any change in clearance or loss of performance. The molybdenum carbide coating gives the treated component a surface hardnessconsiderably higher than cast iron (1100 HV – 70 HRC), making it suitable for heavy-duty applications and use with abrasive liquids.
