Nitrocarburising

Nitrocarburising

Ionic liquids offer a significant improvement in wear protection, sliding properties and fatigue strength on all ferrous materials. A subsequent oxidising quenching produces a significant increase in corrosion resistance.

This technology gives often superior results to that of galvanic layers and other nitrocarburising processes due to the main process characteristics such as:

  • Excellent reproducibility
  • Shortest treatment times
  • Negligible distortion
  • Highest flexibility

Commonly known in the UK as the TUFFTRIDE treatment, we offer environmentally-friendly salts for this nitrocarburising process.
