A Specialty Stainless Steel Processes (S3P) facility has opened in North Carolina to serve automotive, food processing, medical and oil and gas industries. U.K.-based Bodycote, a global provider of heat treatment and specialist thermal processing services, recently announced the grand opening of its new site for S3P processes, which increase mechanical and wear properties in stainless steel without adversely affecting corrosion resistance.

Bodycote reports that demand for S3P processes featuring Kolsterising® has grown across multiple markets including automotive, food processing, medical, and oil and gas among others in the United States. The new facility will support the manufacturing supply chains in the southeast region and will be accredited for both ISO9001 and AS9100 to serve the customer base.

“We are excited to respond to our customers’ requests to expand Bodycote’s geographic footprint and increase capacity to serve their growing demands,” stated Kent Abrahamsen, senior vice president, Bodycote Specialty Stainless Steel Processes. “Our new, larger facility in Mooresville supports the increasing demands for Specialty Stainless Steel Processes (S3P).”

Certain stainless steel applications present unique technical challenges to metallurgists and engineers. Bodycote’s S3P technologies treat stainless steel, nickel-based, and cobalt chromium alloys (including martensitic and precipitation hardened stainless steel materials) to improve resistance against surface wear such as galling, cavitation erosion and abrasive wear.
