PROCEDURE
Nitriding
Nitriding is a thermochemical process in which nitrogen diffuses into the surface of a metal workpiece in order to improve its mechanical and physical properties. The process usually takes place at elevated temperatures in a nitrogen-rich atmosphere. A hard nitride layer forms on the metal surface, which increases the wear resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance and fatigue strength of the workpiece. Nitriding is used in various industries, including the automotive, aerospace, tooling and engineering industries, to improve the performance and service life of components.
Our nitriding processes
at a glance
Gas nitriding
Gas nitriding can be used to provide a component with improved corrosion protection and high wear and vibration resistance.
Plasma nitriding
In plasma nitriding, the surface layer of a workpiece is enriched with nitrogen in an ionised gas atmosphere
Salt bath nitriding
In salt bath nitriding, the parts to be treated are treated in a nitriding bath to increase the surface hardness and then oxidised in a quenching bath
