Gas nitriding is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a nitrogen-rich atmosphere. The nitrogen diffuses into the surface of the steel parts, forming a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface.
Nitrocarburizing is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a mixture of gases that contain both nitrogen and carbon. The nitrogen and carbon diffuse into the surface of the steel parts, forming a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface.
Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a mixture of gases that contain nitrogen, carbon, and other elements. This process creates a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface of the steel parts and also improves the corrosion resistance of the parts.
Plasma nitriding/ion nitriding is a process that involves heating steel parts to a high temperature in a plasma or ionized gas atmosphere. The plasma or ions penetrate the surface of the steel parts, forming a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface.
Fluidized bath – salt bath nitriding and nitrocarburizing is a process that involves heating steel parts in a fluidized bed or salt bath. The parts are immersed in a molten salt bath containing nitrogen or a mixture of nitrogen and carbon. The nitrogen or nitrogen and carbon diffuse into the surface of the steel parts, forming a hard, wear-resistant layer on the surface.
