The Process

Basic Steps for Liquid Nitriding:

  • Degreasing/Rinsing
  • Preheating
  • Nitro carburizing
  • Oxidizing
  • Cooling/Cleaning
  • Mechanical Polishing
  • Permeating

 

 

Advantages:

 

Liquid Nitriding Vs Carburizing

  • Low distortion due to lower treatment temperature.
  • No need for further machining operations.
  • Superior adhesive wear resistance thanks to the ceramic characteristics of the surface.
  • Hot strength up to 400°C.

 

Liquid Nitriding Vs  Chrome /Ni Plating

  • Excellent corrosion protection in alkaline or neutral environment.
  • Superior adhesive wear resistance thanks to the ceramic characteristics of the surface.
  • No peeling or flaking since the layer is formed directly from the base material.
  • No micro cracks.
  • No need for grinding operation after treatment.
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Higher environmental favourability; no hex chrome exposure.

 

Liquid Nitriding Vs  Nirto-Carburizing

  • Superior corrosion and wear resistance in high volume production.
  • Low distortion thanks to the quick and very constant heat transfer by the liquid medium.
  • Excellent reproducibility and constancy of the treatment results.
  • Very robust process; less sensitive to surface contaminants.
  • Easy to control because only a few parameters have to be monitored.
  • Shortest cycle times as LIQUID NITRIDING offers the highest nitrogen potential,
  • Meets the environmental legislation and standards without problems.
