INCREASE PARTS PERFORMANCE AND SERVICE LIFE

Gas nitriding works by dissolving nitrogen and hard nitride precipitations to harden cases and increase wear resistance, surface hardness and fatigue life. It is typically done on things like gears, crankshafts, camshafts, cam followers, and valve parts. Southwest Metal Treating has gas nitriding services available with optional post-oxidation. Our skilled and experienced team can also provide plasma nitriding, also known as ion nitriding, also with optional post-oxidation.

Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a specialized procedure that diffuses both nitrogen and carbon into the part. Southwest Metal Treating can handle this as well. We have more than 30 years of experience with these applications, so your parts are in the best of hands.
