Parts are first heated in vacuum to above the transformation temperature of the alloy and then exposed to carbon-carrying gas, or gas mixtures, under partial pressure. Nitrex has developed a revolutionary process called \u201cPulse-Pressure\u201d, a method quickly becoming the industry standard.<br \/>\nRelative to conventional carburizing, the main advantages of the method are:<br \/>\n\u00b7 Shorter cycle time with tight process control<br \/>\n\u00b7 Repeatable results to within \u00b10.001\u2033 (\u00b125\u00b5m)<br \/>\n\u00b7 Uniform homogeneity of carburizing case depths<br \/>\n\u00b7 Significantly reduced size changes and distortion<br \/>\n\u00b7 Improved fatigue strength<br \/>\n\u00b7 Better control of the surface layer chemistry<br \/>\n\u00b7 Eliminates intergranular oxidation<br \/>\n\u00b7 Environmentally friendly process<\/p>\n<p>The basic aspects or carburizing in general are described in the Conventional Carburizing section.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure which process or service is right for you?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/contact\/\"><strong><u>Contact<\/u><\/strong><\/a> our global team of heat treat experts and let them guide you or<br \/>\nfill out the <a href=\"\/en\/heat-treating-services\/rfq-2\/\"><u><strong>contact form<\/strong><\/u><\/a> to put you in touch with one of our experts!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low-pressure vacuum carburizing is a state-of-the-art thermal process where carburizing is effected under very low pressures<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3969,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"spay_email":""},"new_scheduled_revision":null,"save_as_revision":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nitrex.gxinteractive.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1163"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nitrex.gxinteractive.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nitrex.gxinteractive.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nitrex.gxinteractive.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nitrex.gxinteractive.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nitrex.gxinteractive.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
