NITRIDING |
|
| Initial
trials investigating the glow discharge nitriding
of steel parts in a low-pressure nitrogen
atmosphere were conducted as early as 1930.
These experiments involved "shooting"
ionised gases against the workpieces to harden
them - a method that is still used today.
Yet it wasn't until the arrival of microprocessor
technology that nitriding could be controlled
precisely in the so-called fourth state of
matter, plasma. |

Plasma
nitriding shortens the process times for building
up highly reproducible special layers. The
method is primarily used on sliding and rolling
pairs (e.g. pistons, drive train components)
and workpieces that have to exhibit particularly
high abrasion resistance.
Härterei Reese operates plant designed
for non-distorting pulsed plasma hardening
on extremely large workpieces. |
