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 heating and holding in a mixed atmosphere, allowing nitrogen and carbon to diffuse into the surface. It features excellent wear resistance, less distortion compared to quenching, and surface hardness equivalent to that achieved during quenching, with a quicker 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 remain unchanged 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 faster completion. Products that are 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 due to minimized distortion
■ Adopts a retort outer cooling method to reduce the load on the product
■ Minimal nitriding unevenness, resulting in a beautiful (silver-gray) finish
■ Suitable for sliding parts, wear-resistant parts, and resin molds
