The Modern Nitriding Techniques Offering Excellent Results To Heat Treating Industry

 

The nitriding technology, cultivated based on the glow discharge phenomenon, encompassing from its basic physical principle, the main processing characteristics and technical advantages, as well as its industrial applications. The Advanced Nitriding Solutions started as an innovative nitriding process and gas nitriding technology. This methodology has delivered more enhanced wear, fatigue and corrosion resistance to ferrous and non-ferrous materials - features highly sought after by anyone whose product manufacturing activities involve any heat treatment process.

The plasma nitriding technology, developed based on the phenomenon of glow discharge, covers technical advantages, as well as its industrial applications. The benefits of utilising plasma nitriding are:

• High rate of diffusion: Conducting low plasma energy and high temperature, nitrogen ions can diffuse into the material.

• Energy savings: Surface ion bombardment generates local heating on the workpiece surface without heating the entire furnace body, so the process can greatly minimize energy consumption.

• Controllable microstructure: Unlike the gas nitriding process, the composition and microstructure of the nitride layer can be controlled during the plasma nitriding process.

• No treatment is required for passive film on stainless steel.

• No chemical pollution: Plasma nitriding only uses a small amount of ammonia or nitrogen, hydrogen, environmental pollution is negligible.

Ferritic nitrocarburization imparts high surface hardness, improved wear resistance and fatigue resistance to a wide variety of carbon steel, alloy steel, and cast iron parts. In many applications, FNC treatment also improves corrosion resistance by forming a continuous compound layer on the surface of the workpiece that can allow the elimination of subsequent protective coating operations or the application of a rust preventative. Advanced nitriding Solutions supplement plasma furnaces with conventional gas nitriding solutions. We supply unique ferritic nitro-carburizing solutions with innovative applications that deliver substantial benefits to customers.
