Nitriding is a surface treatment, not a coating, which means there are no dimensional changes to the treated part compared to chrome coating. Technical definition: Nitriding is a surface-hardening treatment. The steel part is dipped in a salt bath solution at a very high temperature. This process allows the salt to release nitrogen and to a lesser degree carbon, which then penetrates the steel’s surface to harden it. Over the years we have gained a lot of experience and expertise with the salt bath nitriding process, for more information, please visit http://www.tsitribo.com/. ARCOR NITRIDING ADVANTAGES: Improved fatigue, wear and corrosion resistance Superior surface hardness, preventing scratches Low coefficient of friction (extended service life of components) Cylinder can remain partially extended without risk of corrosion Allows us to offer the industry’s best warranty INNOVATIONS At Mailhot Industries, we distinguish ourselves by constantly finding ways to innovate our manufacturing technologies.
