NITRIDING/NITROCARBURIZING SIMPLIFIED
The Nitrex process control system is a product of extensive R&D in process automation and enables accurate process execution and consistency of results. The entire nitriding /nitrocarburizing process is executed in an automatic, self-adjusting, and operator independent manner.
This expert system monitors and responds to changes in nitriding conditions by regulating the following parameters and operating functions:
- Furnace heating functions such as process temperature, and overheat control with automatic emergency procedures
- Atmosphere composition and flow for a cycle
- Nitriding atmosphere ratios
- Nitriding Potential KN (dissociation rate, for customer defined cycles)
- Temperature for each process stage
- Gas pressure inside the retort
- Gas recirculation
- Execution of the cooling stage and shutdown
- Cooling water
- Process safety features
ENJOY PEACE OF MIND
With our ‘set & forget’ process, the user selects the desired recipe from a library of researched and tested recipes and initiates a process. From there, all stages of the nitriding cycle (e.g., purge, heat, process control, and cool) are automatically carried out sequentially in one uninterrupted cycle, without further operator intervention. This set-up provides a high degree of accuracy in process execution, contributing to consistency in nitriding / nitrocarburizing results.
