A set of nitriding/nitrocarburizing systems has been installed for a European hydraulics manufacturer. The furnaces help produce components for hydraulic pumps and motors and strengthen the company’s in-house heat treatment capabilities.
The furnaces are from Nitrex – a company based in North America with international locations. This is the second set of systems from the same manufacturer. These systems primarily serve to nitride/nitrocarburize pieces made from various steels and alloys and will help meet the growing demand for hydraulic components.
“The nitriding/nitrocarburizing furnaces have [. . . integrated] seamlessly into our customer’s operations,” commented Mark Hemsath, vice president of sales, furnaces & heat treating services at Nitrex.
