Nitriding steel is a high-quality material with a unique combination of properties. It is ideal for components that are subjected to extreme loads and require high wear resistance.
Nitriding steel
Maximum hardness for the most demanding requirements
Remains free of warping despite long periods of inactivity.
Properties of nitriding steel
Extremely high surface hardness
Protects against wear and tear, even under extreme conditions.
Good fatigue strength
Nitriding steels have high fatigue strength, which is important for components subjected to dynamic loads.
Minor delay
Nitriding causes only minimal distortion of the workpiece, which improves dimensional accuracy.
High resistance to ignition
Nitriding steels retain their hardness even at higher temperatures, up to around 500 °C.
Areas of application
Mechanical Engineering
Vehicle manufacturing
Toolmaking
Nitrided steel is extremely hard and wear-resistant. This makes it ideal for components subject to high stress, such as gears, camshafts, valves, connecting rods, crankshafts and die-cutting tools. Its tough core ensures high load-bearing capacity.
