Equipment Usage

Ion nitriding is a type of chemical heat treatment for metal surface hardening. It involves placing metal parts in an active medium, where nitrogen is diffused into the metal surface at specific temperatures and holding times, altering the chemical composition of the surface to achieve high hardness, wear resistance, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, and burn resistance. This process is widely used in industry. Ion nitriding is required for parts with high hardness, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and precision in industries such as machine tools, light industrial machinery, textile machinery, petroleum machinery, and power machinery, including gears, crankshafts, cylinder liners, molds, screws, spindles, and cutting tools.

Characteristics of Ion Nitriding Furnaces

Ion nitriding has strong adaptability to materials and can be applied to nitriding steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, ball-milled cast iron, high-speed steel cutting tools, and non-ferrous metals. Plasma nitriding offers advantages such as fast nitriding speed, excellent nitriding layer performance, minimal workpiece deformation, and low energy consumption with no pollution, making it an ideal surface treatment process.

Structure Overview

The plasma nitriding equipment is composed of several major parts, including an electrical control system, a vacuum furnace body, an agent gas distribution system, vacuum measurement and control systems, etc.
