Nitriding Furnace by HIGHTEMP is a pollution-free furnace for soft nitriding of metals. The components are treated at a lower temperature than the A-1 transformation point in a mixed gas atmosphere consisting of ammonia, and endothermic gas. The resulting carbon and nitrogen react with the steel to carburise and nitride the components.

Specifications
Nitriding furnace provides a completely shielded environment for the work piece backed by fully automatic operation.
Features include uniform temperature profile and stable atmosphere (residual NH3).
The Nitriding Furnace creates a white layer with uniform and deeper diffusion layer thickness.
The Nitriding process takes place between 570ºC to 730ºC., allowing minimal distortions and dimensional changes.
Types
Electrically Heated
The Electrically Heated Nitriding Furnace is a modern heat treatment solution designed to enhance the surface properties of metals through precise nitriding. Powered by advanced electric heating elements, it ensures uniform temperature distribution for consistent results. Its eco-friendly design reduces emissions while offering reliable and efficient operation. This furnace is ideal for industries requiring improved hardness, wear resistance, and extended service life of critical components.
Advantages
Clean Processing Environment
The gaseous Nitriding process eliminates the toxic cyanide and cyanate required by salt bath treatment. This helps the treated surface remain clean and bright while eliminating any dirty post-process washing and polishing.
Reduced Distortion
The A1 transformation temperature generates components with minimal distortions and dimensional change. The stress-relieving treatment prior to the toughnite process can help obtain high-precision components.
Improved Mechanical Properties
HIGHTEMP’s THN Furnace offers superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and seizure. Additionally, the nitrogen layer improves stress distribution and fatigue strength.
Improved Toughness
The furnace is designed to enhance the toughness of metal components, which is crucial for parts that undergo significant stress during operation.
Batch processing
HIGHTEMP’s Nitriding Furnace is ideal for small to medium-sized production runs, allowing for efficient batch processing.
