Excellent performance in terms of lubrication oil deficiency, resistance to galling and seizure at high temperatures, maintenance of dimensional accuracy, and non-peeling during molding and bending processes.
The ISONITE treatment is a unique surface hardening method using low-temperature salt bath nitriding, widely applicable to carbon steel, low alloy steel, special steel, tool steel, high-speed steel, stainless steel, various cast irons, and iron-based sintered metals. The robust wear resistance created by the ISONITE treatment, the significant improvement in fatigue resistance by up to 100% in low carbon steel, the ability to withstand lubrication shortages and high-temperature wear, resistance to galling and seizure, maintenance of dimensional accuracy, and excellent performance that prevents peeling during molding and bending processes further enhance the characteristics of carbon steel, low alloy steel, special steel, tool steel, high-speed steel, stainless steel, various cast irons, and iron-based sintered metals, compensating for their shortcomings and meeting a wide range of technical demands. The ISONITE SQ, SQP, and QPQ processes are further technologically advanced processes of the ISONITE treatment. The features of the SQ, SQP, and QPQ processes include: - Resolution of pollution (wastewater) issues - Reduction of warping and distortion occurring during the cooling process - Prevention of cracking and fissures during the cooling process - Improved sliding properties due to the nitrided surface layer and oxide film - Enhanced corrosion resistance due to the nitrided surface layer and oxide film - Increased product value due to distinctive surface finish colors.

basic information
■SQ Process First, preheat the workpiece to around 400°C, then immerse it in a nitride salt bath at 580°C for 10 to 180 minutes. Next, immediately transfer it to the cooling salt bath AB-1 and cool it at 350 to 400°C for 5 to 20 minutes. Finish: Non-glossy black color, excellent fatigue resistance, wear resistance, and minimal distortion. ■SQP Process After SQ, finish to the specified surface roughness using barrel, buff, or super finish. Features: High corrosion resistance, lubricity, and beautiful metallic luster. ■QPQ Process After SQP, briefly re-immerse in the oxidation salt bath AB-1. Features: Corrosion resistance greater than hard chrome plating, black luster. 【Explanation of Fatigue Strength】 - Hard chrome plating has lower fatigue strength than SAE1045. - ISONITE imparts various properties simultaneously and has features not found in other methods.
