Vacuum nitriding is a heat treatment process in which nitrogen atoms diffuse into the metal surface, creating a surface hardening of the material.

| Leakage rate (in a cold empty vacuum furnace), Pa/h | 0.5 |
| Ultimate vacuum, Pa (in a cold empty furnace) | 6.7×10 -1 |
| Working area, (WxHxD), mm | from 250x250x400 to 800x800x1200 |
| Maximum mass of a load at a time, kg | 1200 |
Description:
This process is most commonly used for case hardening of low carbon and low alloy steels, however it can also be used to harden medium and high carbon steels, titanium, aluminum and molybdenum. Typical applications for this series of furnaces include the production of gears, crankshafts, camshafts, cam followers, valve parts, extruder screws, injection molding tools, forging dies, dies, firearm parts, injectors and other mold components.
Design features and equipment:
Note:
Characteristics are indicated for standard models, we offer furnaces with non-standard dimensions, an increased working area according to the technical specifications of the customer.
