Short answer: Nitriding adds nitrogen at low temperature for a very hard, low-distortion case, via gas, plasma or salt-bath routes, arranged via our Surface Hardening Supplier page and paired with carburizing in our Case Hardening Guide.
At a Glance
What Nitriding Does
Nitrogen forms hard nitrides near the surface with almost no size change, suited to cylinders and precision parts, with base metal in our Stainless Steel Supplier and the property basis in our Hardness and Tensile Guide.
Gas, Plasma and Salt Bath
Gas nitriding is the workhorse, plasma gives precise control and salt bath is fast; ferritic variants avoid a brittle layer, with the broader route in our Surface Hardening Supplier page.
Quality and Certification
Case depth and surface hardness are verified; confirm with our Quality Inspection Guide and documents per our Mill Test Certificate Guide.
