Ferritic Nitrocarburising Services

Ion (Plasma) nitrocarburising is a heat-treatment, similar to Plasma Nitriding, but a small percentage of an additional gas is added in the the vacuum chamber during the process. This gas is a carbon containing one, that helps for the formation of a bigger compound (white) layer, that is formed on top of the diffusion zone. This type of heat-treatmet is performed in the ferritic zone and there is no danger that distortions might happen in the part. Plasma Nitrocarburising or Ferritic Plasma Nitrocarburising is usually used to treat steel grades that have less alloying elements so that a larger white layer could be formed and a larger surface hardness could be achieved.
