-3 to 10 times reduced duration of
treatment;
-50% - 100 % less energy consumption;
-50 to100 times less working gas
consumption;
-
Distortion - less distortions because ion
nitriding is performed at lower
temperature and under a vacuum;
-
Higher surface, case and core hardness;
-
Excellent wear resistance - the ion
nitriding process produces a compound zone
which is dense, nonporous, very hard, not
brittle, and has a low coefficient of
friction;
-
Reproducible results and better control -
the technological process of ion nitriding
is fully automated and computer
controlled. The heat for ion nitriding is
generated on the surface of the details by
ion bombardment of their surface and
therefore the details are heated
uniformly;
-
Surface finish
-due to minimum deformations no
additional mechanical treatments are
necessary;
-necessity of predepassivation of
stainless steel is eliminated;
-
Masking - surfaces which require masking
are easily masked with reusable mechanical
masking devices - 100 % effective.
-
Excellent hygiene and working conditions -
the process is not toxic and coresponds to
all modern requirements of environmental
control.
