Ion Nitriding is an efficient method to increase hardness and wear resistance of metals and alloys. Ion Plasma Nitriding of components is characterized by their active participation in glow discharge. Nitriding process is a thermochemical case hardening process used to increase wear resistance,surface hardness and fatigue by generating a hard layer including compressive stress. This diffusion process is based on the solubility of nitrogen in iron.
Advanced nitriding manufactures, and commercializes thermal processing equipment of high technological standard, such as nitriding systems and vacuum furnaces. Advanced Nitriding Solutions is a premier commercial ion plasma nitriding company with a new state of the art facility. Our facility includes unique ion plasma nitriding systems with microprocessor controls and computer integration along with a fully equipped metallurgical laboratory.
We specialize in plasma ion Nitriding in the United States .We offer our services with a focus quality and a rapid turnaround time while maintaining strong relationships with our clients. Nitriding acts as a stabilizing process by providing an additional temper to the processed steel. To supplement our furnaces we offer conventional gas nitriding.
Gas nitriding uses heat to diffuse nitrogen-rich gas onto the surface of the metal with the intention of hardening it.Gas nitriding develops a very hard case in a component relatively low temperature ,without the need for quenching.Parts to be nitride are heated to a proper strength level and then exposed to active nitrogen.Thus,gas nitriding helps in producing a very high strength product with good wear resistance and high strength.
Gas nitriding is beneficial in the following :
- To obtain high surface hardness
- To increase wear resistance and antigalling properties
- To improve fatigue life
- To improve corrosion resistance
- To obtain a surface that is resistant to the softening effect of heat at temperatures up to the nitriding temperature.
