PROCESSES 2 - Nitrex

IN-PROCESS POST-NITRIDING/NITROCARBURIZING OXIDATION ONC®

When resistance to atmospheric corrosion and an attractive black finish are the main requirements, ONC® is the best technology.

LOW PRESSURE CARBURIZING

Low-pressure vacuum carburizing is a state-of-the-art thermal process where carburizing is effected under very low pressures

NORMALIZING

The main purpose will usually be an improvement and homogenization of the grain structure.

PLASMA (ION) NITRIDING

As an alternative to gas nitriding, nitriding plasma (ion) nitriding process has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of the earlier traditional uncontrolled gas nitriding processes

SAND BLASTING

Depending on the need, the technique is used either before heat treatment (preparation) or after (e.g., removal of oxidation).

SHOT BLASTING OR PEENING

When tiny steel balls are used the process of blasting parts using this medium will be called shot blasting or peening.

STRAIGHTENING

Certain types of components, particularly longer objects such as shafts, tend to distort in high temperature treatment.

STRESS RELIEVING

As the name of the process clearly indicates, Stress Relieving is used to reduce the residual stresses in the microstructure

SURFACE HARDENING OF STAINLESS STEELS NANO-S™

SS materials to Stainless Steels

VACUUM ANNEALING

This premium quality Vacuum Annealing method protects the components’ surfaces from chemical reactions

VACUUM BRAZING

Vacuum Brazing uses a vacuum furnace, but it is not, strictly speaking, a heat-treating process.

VACUUM CARBONITRIDING

It is a thermal process of simultaneously diffusing both carbon and nitrogen into ferrous alloys under partial pressure.

VACUUM CARBURIZING

Vacuum carburizing is a state-of-the-art thermal process where carburizing is effected under very low pressures.

VACUUM HARDENING

Vacuum Hardening is an improvement over Conventional Hardening in that the components’ surfaces are protected from possible negative effects of exposure

VACUUM TEMPERING

Vacuum Tempering is almost always required after hardening (both in an atmosphere furnace as well as in vacuum)
