Nitriding Salts

FRANK ECONOMISER must not be used on baths. Salt bath nitriding/liquid nitriding advantages include active case hardening process ( Compound zone), additional lubricity, improved aesthetics. Dimensional stability or processed parts does not change and core properties are uncompromised.

​

Salt bath Nitriding/ Liquid Nitriding can be performed on through hardening steel. This yields the benefit of through hardening in addition to a harder surface. This can be up to 75RC depending on the material.

Subjacent to the compound zone is another distinctive region the diffusion zone. This evolves from Progressive diffusion of the nitrogen, and consists of a solid solution of Nitrogen in the base material. The diffusion zone distributes another critical benefit of salt bath nitriding: Substantial enhancement of fatigue strength, typically between 20% to 100%.
