Nitriding & Nitrocarburizing

NITROFLEX™ atmospheres blend nitrogen, ammonia and other proprietary gas combinations to transfer carbon and nitrogen to the surface on most grades of steel.

Parts that used to be carburized to a low case depth can be nitrocarburized using NITROFLEX. Nitrocarburizing offers lower costs and less product distortion due to the lower processing temperatures used.

The main benefits of the NITROFLEX™ system are:

  • You can accurately determine the thickness and porosity of the different layers due to NITROFLEX's ability to create an infinite range of different atmospheres.
  • Close control of the atmosphere composition allows you to achieve the best combination of properties relating to wear, fatigue and corrosion resistance.
  • Using a post oxidation treatment allows you to create a black surface that is both tough and attractive without the problems associated with salt-bath wastes.
  • It is a cleaner, more flexible and environmentally better alternative to generator based systems and salt baths.
