Hydraulics, molding, gears, valves, material handling equipment can all benefit from improved strength and anti-corrosion properties. Our nitriding treatment provides significant improvement for surface hardness and against corrosion.
We serve, hydraulic manufacturers, forestry equipment manufacturing, automotive industry, sport equipment manufacturing, defense industry, mills, precision machine shops, and more.
Improved properties upon nitriding:
- Corrosion resistance can exceed 700 hours in salt spray on simple parts and can commonly reach 400 hours in salt spray on more complex parts. For more details on the increase in anti-corrosion properties please see our partner using this link.
- Wear resistance of a metallic component like a rocker arm can increase up to 80 hours running time. For more details on the increase in wear properties please see our partner using this link.
- Surface hardness increases significantly depending on the type of steel. For more detailed information on hardness please see our partner using this link.
In summary, Nitriding treatment significantly improves the service performance and life of metallic components in normal and harsh working environments.
