Micropulse Plasma Nitriding
With plasma nitriding, the edge of a workpiece is either finished with nitrogen or with nitrogen and carbon (plasma nitrocarburising) in an ionised gas atmosphere. To improve the tribological characteristics of the component, it can then be oxidised.
Advantages
- High level of resistance to wear and tear
- Minimal distortion
- Partial nitriding
- Reduction in coefficient of friction
Materials
- Low-alloy steels
- Tool steels
- Nitriding steels
- Stainless steels
Available plant sizes
- Length 1.200 mm, diameter 1.000 mm
Typical values for plasma nitriding
Which materials can be plasma nitrided? What hardness and nitriding depth can be achieved? Here you will find an overview of typical hardness values of different material groups:
DIN EN 10027-2 Material number | DIN EN 10027-2 (Short) designation | Surface Hardness in Vickers [HV0,5] | max. Nitriding hardness depth (NHD) [mm] |
