 Improves: • Hardness and Wear Resistance • Lubricity and Metal Flow • Resistance to Fatigue & Erosion • Antigalling and Antiscoring |
|
The
forging and hot forming industries have always been faced with costly downtime
and expensive tooling repairs due to wear caused by metal flow.
Now, there is a low temperature, environmentally non-hazardous process for producing wear resistant cases: Ionitriding®*. All types of steels used for tooling in forging and hot forming can be Ionitrided. |
 Applications:• impression dies • punches • upsetting dies • tool holders • hammer dies • rolled ring tooling • hot extrusion • machinery components |
 Parts
can be re-Ionitrided to restore original case properties should repairs
or engineering changes be implemented.Depending on the magnitude of the alloying elements and applications, Sun Steel Treating can control the hardness profile and depth of the treated layer...virtually distortion free.** |
| *Ionitriding
(Ion Nitriding)
is a surface hardening process for metals. **Accurate, distortion-free processing requires information about material chemistry, machining practices, welding and heat treatment process. Tempering/stress relieving should be performed a minimum of 50°F above Ionitriding processing temperature. |
