Heat Treatment Solutions With Industrial Plasma Nitriding Treatment

WHAT IS PLASMA NITRIDING  ?

Plasma   ion nitriding   is an industrial surface hardening treatment for iron-based materials. It is most technically   superior of all nitriding   processes and has many advantages compared to traditional salt bath and gas nitriding.  A plasma nitrided   part   is usually ready for use directly after treatment   requiring no machining , polishing or any other post-nitriding  operations . The process is eco-friendly  , saves energy and causes little or no distortion.  Steels are the most common materials treated with plasma nitriding.  This process permits the close control of the nitride microstructure , allowing nitriding with or without compound layer formation.  In addition to enhanced material performance , the lifespan of your parts will increase with much improved strain limits , fatigue strength , wear resistance and corrosion protection.  With a wide range of process control and optimization possibilities , plasma nitriding makes it possible to achieve stringent requirements not capable by gas or salt bath nitriding.  Nitriding case depth , surface hardness and compound layer  thickness  can be optimally achieved to meet your application requirements.  

The Plasma Ion Process is done in a vacuum vessel at low temperatures or where high-voltage electrical charge  forms plasma , causing nitrogen ions to accelerate and impinge on the metal.  Our commercial nitriding solutions  make metal more stronger , more durable , and more corrosion resistant. Servicing local and international clients from highly accredited facilities , we deliver quality and reliable services .  

The benefits of plasma nitriding are :

·         Extends part / tool life

·         Selective hardening process

·         Reusable masking

·         Adds performance , fatigue strength  or other surface

·         Reduces erosion

·         Zero to minimal growth / distortion

·         Precise and versatile

·         Environmentally friendly process

Our commercial plasma nitriding is a modern heat treating process , capable of meeting the metallurgical requirements of all nitriding specifications .
