Metal surfaces at the bearing contact interface
How Duravi works

A closer look at
metal-to-metal contact.

Duravi describes a surface treatment delivered through oils, grease, fuel and sprays. Explore the concept, then review the published wear and hardness testing.

At the point of contact

Why surface
roughness matters.

What the laboratory
analysis examines.

Duravi’s published analysis examines changes in surface smoothness, hardness and near-surface grain structure under operating conditions.

The appropriate product, dosage and procedure depend on the equipment and its operating conditions.
