Watervliet Arsenal will receive a new ion nitriding thermal processing furnace system with full controls. It will be fully installed and commissioned in a horizontal configuration.

This is the second ion nitriding furnace supplied from Surface® Combustion, to Watervliet Arsenal; the first was originally over 40 years ago. They awarded a contract to Surface so they could again bring their processing capability in-house. Adding control to the supply chain for product was one of the many reasons they acquired an ion nitriding thermal processing furnace system for their plant. This configuration best suits the facility and Watervliet Arsenal's processing needs, and will also include process development.
Surface has always placed a high value on customer relationships and believes that an equipment purchase is the beginning of something much more than a finite transaction. In fact, they have been working with the Watervliet Arsenal location for over 40 years.
"It is always great to see customers coming back to Surface," said Ben Bernard, vice president of Marketing at Surface, "because they appreciate our incredible product lines as well as our engineering capabilities and long standing relationships."
