Nitriding and Nitrocarburizing

Nitriding and Nitrocarburizing are performed at lower temperatures than conventional heat treatments, which minimizes distortion.

These heat treatments improve wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance.

Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing Types:

• Ion Nitriding (Plasma Nitriding / Nitrocarburizing)
• Gas Nitriding (Gaseous Nitrocarburizing)
• Salt-Bath Nitriding (Liquid)
