Modulus Metal is a company that provides heat treatment services to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of steel parts. Our team of experts is trained in various heat treatment techniques, including atmospheric carburizing, low-pressure carburizing, carbonitriding, and boronizing.
Atmospheric carburizing is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a carburizing atmosphere, which contains a high concentration of carbon. The carbon diffuses into the surface of the steel parts, forming a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface.
Low-pressure carburizing is a variation of atmospheric carburizing that uses a lower pressure of carburizing gas to reduce distortion and improve surface finish.
Carbonitriding is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a mixture of gases that contain both carbon and nitrogen. The carbon and nitrogen diffuse into the surface of the steel parts, forming a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface.
Boronizing is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a boron-containing atmosphere, which diffuses boron into the surface of the steel parts. The boron forms a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface of the parts.
Modulus Metal is committed to helping its clients improve the surface properties of their steel parts through heat treatment. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can help you achieve the desired surface properties for your steel parts.
