NITRIDING

It is a process of diffusing nitrogen on the surface of the material, resulting in increased hardness and wear resistance. Nitriding is carried out in a nitrogen-controlled environment, which allows the characteristics of the surface layer to be modified. TTT Group offers three types of nitriding: TENIFER® salt nitriding, NITREG® gas nitriding and active-screen ion nitriding. These options allow the process to be adapted to the specific needs of each application. The main parts treated are gears, shafts, bearings, moulds, dies and cutting tools in various sectors such as automotive (cranks, gears, transmission parts), aeronautics (gears, shafts), energy (axles, turbine gears), and hydraulic (cylinders, pistons). Nitriding improves the performance and durability of these critical parts in their respective industrial fields, providing an effective solution for applications requiring wear resistance and high reliability.
