Case hardening without subsequent hardening operation

Corr-I-Dur^®

Proprietary Bodycote thermochemical treatment for simultaneous improvement of corrosion and wear resistance through generation of a nitride-oxide combination layer.

Plasma nitriding/Ion nitriding

Plasma nitriding (or Ion Nitriding) is a plasma supported thermochemical case hardening that increases surface hardness, and wear and fatigue resistance by generation of a hard layer.

Nitrocarburising

Shallow case variation of nitriding, where nitrogen, carbon and oxygen diffuse into the surface providing wear resistance and improving fatigue resistance.

Gas nitriding

Thermochemical case hardening process used to increase wear resistance, surface hardness and fatigue life by dissolution of nitrogen and hard nitride precipitations.

Ferritic nitrocarburising

Ferritic nitrocarburising involves the diffusion of nitrogen, carbon and oxygen into the surface giving significant improvements in fatigue properties, adhesive wear resistance and anti-seize properties.

Fluidised bed/salt bath nitriding/nitrocarburising

Diffuses nitrogen atoms into the surface of the workpiece. Utilised to improve components’ fatigue strength, wear and corrosion resistance.
