UltraGlow Gas Nitriding

The Gas Nitriding Process

UltraGlow® Gas Nitriding is a case-hardening process whereby nitrogen is diffused into the surface of a solid ferrous alloy by holding the metal at a suitable temperature in contact with a nitrogenous gas, usually ammonia.

Benefits of UltraGlow® Gas Nitriding:

• Extends part/tool life
• Adds abrasive wear
• Adds performance, fatigue strength and endurance
• Enhances surface lubricity
• Reduces erosion
• Increases material flow in molds and dies
• Improves corrosion resistance
• No post-process machining
• Improves wear resistance
• Minimal growth/distortion
