Why hardening in the automotive industry?

  • Improving material strength: Hardening processes can improve the strength of metals, which is particularly important for producing parts that can withstand the stresses of automotive use, such as engine components, transmission parts and chassis components.
  • Increased wear resistance: Application such as nitriding improves the wear resistance of metal components, which extends their service life and reduces maintenance costs.
  • Improved safety: Heat treatment enables the production of components with improved mechanical properties, which increases the safety of vehicles. This applies in particular to parts such as brakes, steering and impact protection systems.
  • Weight reduction: Materials can be utilised more efficiently, which helps to reduce the weight of vehicles. This can improve fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
  • Improved precision: Hardening enables the production of high-precision components that meet the stringent requirements of the automotive industry. This is particularly important for parts that have tight tolerances, such as transmission components
  • Improved corrosion resistance: Materials can be protected from corrosion, extending their life in demanding environments, including salty road conditions.
  • Improvedfatigue resistance: Hardening processes can improve the fatigue resistance of materials, which is important to ensure that vehicle components maintain their performance under repeated stress.
  • Optimisation of heat treatment: Hardening allows the microstructure of materials to be specifically controlled, resulting in optimised heat treatment. This is important for the production of high-strength yet ductile parts.
  • Improved lubrication properties: Surfaces can be modified to have improved lubrication properties, which reduces friction and wear on moving parts.
  • Cost efficiency and competitiveness: The application enables car manufacturers to produce high-quality and durable vehicle components, which helps to increase customer satisfaction, reduce warranty costs and improve competitiveness in the market.
