Ion/plasma nitriding is a thermochemical surface hardening process that significantly improves the wear resistance, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance of metal parts. Unlike traditional gas nitriding, ion nitriding utilizes a plasma environment, allowing for precise control over the process, reduced distortion, and the ability to selectively nitride specific areas. This makes it a highly versatile and efficient method for enhancing the performance and lifespan of a wide range of industrial parts.
1. Introduction
The process of Nitriding is not a new process. It is simply a process that is not well understood in general engineering terms and practice. The process is a mature process and has been used since its first applications back in 1908 after it was initially patented by Adolph Machlet of Elizabeth New Jersey. Machlet initially applied the process to cast irons and plain carbon steels with some good success.
