A Korean automotive parts manufacturer recently had an NX-1230 potential-controlled nitriding system installed for processing automotive springs.
Previously directing its nitriding processes to outside suppliers, Daewon, Corp., commissioned the system from Nitrex Metal, recognizing that its interests would be better served by performing the nitriding in-house. Daewon supplies automotive parts to Hyundai, Kia Motors, GM, Chrysler, Volkswagen, and other global automakers.
Nitreg® nitriding of springs allows fatigue resistance for longer service life in automotive use. The technology also maintains tight dimensional tolerances (no distortion), uniformity from part to part, and repeatability between production runs. The system is capable of processing a load capacity up to 11,570-pound (5250-kg) and complies with the nitriding requirements laid out by AMS2759/10A.
