For sliding parts, wear-resistant parts, and resin molds! Solve distortion, finishing, and cost issues during hardening with "gas nitriding treatment"!
Gas soft nitriding treatment is a heat treatment that forms carbonitrides on the surface by diffusing nitrogen and carbon through heating and holding in a mixed atmosphere. It features not only wear resistance but also less distortion compared to quenching, with surface hardness equivalent to that achieved during quenching, and a faster finishing time. By hardening relatively inexpensive materials, it is also possible to achieve the same hardness as more expensive materials.
Additionally, while the basic finishing characteristics such as hardness do not change between "salt bath soft nitriding" and "gas soft nitriding," gas soft nitriding results in a cleaner appearance after treatment, leading to fewer processing steps and quicker completion. Products that are currently treated with salt bath nitriding should also be considered for gas soft nitriding.
【Features】
■ High wear resistance and corrosion resistance
■ Effective for products with strict dimensional accuracy, minimizing distortion
■ Adopts a retort outer cooling method to reduce stress on the product
■ Minimal nitriding unevenness, resulting in a beautiful (silver-gray) finish
■ Suitable for sliding components, wear-resistant parts, and resin molds
