Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) is expanding its R&D capabilities in heat treatment and materials testing with a horizontal nitriding system. The furnace will support the university’s efforts in metallurgical research and collaborations with regional manufacturing industries, including testing forging dies for the automotive industry.
The newly acquired Nitrex system is equipped with Nitreg® controlled nitriding technology for optimizing surface hardness, and Nitreg®-S technology for nitriding stainless steel. The system enables Poland-based WUST to conduct next-level materials research and leverage new technological and scientific capabilities to support industrial projects, optimizing heat treatment processes and enhancing the surface properties of metal parts. Furthermore, the furnace meets the stringent AMS 2759/10 standard for nitriding steel and AMS 2750 standard for temperature uniformity.
“While Nitrex primarily serves businesses in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing,” said Marcin Stoklosa, technical sales manager – EMEA region at Nitrex Poland, “our partnership with WUST underscores our commitment to advancing academic research and fostering innovations that directly benefit practical applications and advance metallurgical science globally. . . . I look forward to seeing WUST’s continued leadership in metallurgical research and its impact on both academia and industry.”
