PulsPlasma® Nitriding Systems
These are vacuum furnaces for conducting plasma diffusion processes to enrich the component surface with nitrogen and/or carbon for increasing resistance to wear and corrosion. The PlaTeG PulsPlasma® diffusion processes, especially PulsPlasma® nitriding (PPNTM) and PulsPlasma® nitrocarburizing (PPNCTM), are plasma diffusion processes that offer numerous advantages to customers over traditional nitriding processes such as salt bath nitrocarburizing or gas nitriding, as well as being environmentally friendly and making economical use of resources:
- Low process gas and power consumption
- Use environmentally friendly process gases
- Flexible treatment temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 600 °C (high temperature up to 900°C)
- Option of partial treatment using mechanical covers
- Used to treat high-alloy and stainless steel (maintaining corrosion resistance)
- Nitrided layer structure can be monitored
- Used to treat sintered iron/steel as well as non-ferrous metals such as titanium and aluminum
