NITRIDING / NITROCARBURIZING

Perfect for components that are subject to heavy loading, controlled nitriding/nitrocarburizing imparts a high surface hardness which results in a higher resistance to wear, scuffing, galling, seizure, and an improvement in corrosion. Controlled nitriding/nitrocarburizing allows the adjustment of different case properties, making it adaptable for a broader range of applications. A low temperature process, nitriding/nitrocarburizing minimizes distortion of the finished parts.

 

Benefits include

  • Control of the thickness of the compound (white) layer and its properties
  • Elimination of closed nitride networks within the diffusion zone
  • Excellent control of the case depth
  • Uniformly hardened even small bores, tight grooves, and sharp edges
  • Increased wear/corrosion resistance
  • Excellent control of the surface hardness
  • Excellent process reliability
  • No brittleness
  • No part distortion
  • Green technology, no waste pollution
  • Conformance to AMS 2759-10 and 2759-12 specifications

HORIZONTAL VACUUM FURNACE SERIES

 

Nitriding is used in the aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, gearing, industrial, plastics, and tooling industries for applications ranging from crankshafts to camshafts, die-cast dies, extrusion dies, forging dies, gearbox assemblies, gears, injectors, landing gears, molds, valve parts, springs, tools, and many more.

Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing materials include a number of steel types:

  • Carbon steels
  • Hardenable alloy steels
  • Special nitriding steels such as Nitralloy
  • High alloy steels: tool steels, heat-resistant steels (e.g. valve steels) etc.
  • Stainless steels (ferritic, martensitic, austenitic, PH grades)
  • Cast iron (grey or nodular)
