Alugen Aluminium, a Turkish aluminum extrusion company, recently expanded their production capabilities with a high-performance compact nitriding/nitrocarburizing system. This system will allow the company to bring all manufacturing operations in-house for more optimal work-planning and quality control.
"In partnering with Nitrex," says Özcan Sürücü, die shop manager at Alugen Aluminium, "we [Alugen] have become self-sufficient from an operational point of view, no longer relying on external contractors to fill this work gap. This allows for more effective planning and ensures that all projects, whether big or small, are done on time and on budget."

The decision to bring nitriding operations in-house with Nitrex's multipurpose batch-type furnace was based on improved quality consistency and cost-effectiveness of Alugen's gas nitriding processes. With the company expanding over the years in order to meet demand, this recent addition to Alugen's manufacturing process has enabled them to meet customer requests to "mix special dies with regular production dies for a faster turnaround of product-specific production plan," according to Marcin Stoklosa, project manager at Nitrex Poland.
