Low friction coatings tech news
On May 25, 2026, Titan--Wear Solutions announced the launch of "Magma--Slide," a high--temperature low--friction coating specifically engineered for the steel manufacturing and metal processing industries. The coating utilizes a boron nitride--ceramic composite matrix capable of maintaining a stable friction coefficient at operating temperatures reaching 1,200°C. By facilitating the smooth movement of hot billets and slabs across conveyor systems, the technology reduces mechanical wear by 35% and significantly minimizes surface scoring on finished metal products.
