Ionic liquids offer a significant improvement in wear protection, sliding properties, fatigue strength & good corrosion resistance on all ferrous material. A subsequent oxidising quenching further 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 or QPQ treatment, we offer environmentally-friendly salts for this nitrocarburising process.
| Product | Application | Working temp. in °C |
| TF 1 | Cyanide-free nitriding salt. For use only with REG 1 regenerator. | 480 – 630 |
| REG 1 | Non-toxic regenerator for nitriding salt TF 1. | |
| AB 1 / AB 1.8 | Oxidising salts for enhancing the corrosion resistance of TUFFTRIDE treated components and for QPQ process. | 350 – 400 |
TF1 salt has been optimized. By using specially developed additives for the base salts, not only can the process safety be further increased, but the process can also be controlled more easily, and energy costs can be saved. With the optimized products you can achieve significantly more compact compound layers, deep-black components and the process becomes even more stable.
The existing TF 1 and AB 1 baths can be upgraded to the Tenifer® TF-N process without the need of a new start up.
| Product | Application | Working temp. in °C |
| TF-N | Cyanide-free replenishment salt; For use only with REG-N regenerator | 480 – 630 |
| REG-N | Regenerator for TF-N baths | |
| TF-LK | Additives for the base salt TF-N | |
| AB-N R | Oxidizing salts for quenching TF-N treated components and for carrying out the QPQ® process; leads to enhanced corrosion resistance | 420 – 440 |
