| CASEWEAR™, a precisely controlled ion nitrided case (70+ RC) that increases tool life of high speed steel cutting tools and cold working dies. | CASETUFF™, a deeper more ductile ion nitrided layer which resists heat checking and improves the thermal fatigue resistance of hot working dies.. | |
|
Consistant results demonstrate that the CASEWEAR™ and CASETUFF™ process add significant value by extending tool life. One vertical furnace accommodates parts up to 30" diameter by 110" in length. Two bottom load chambers handle loads 50" x 50" at 8,000 pounds each. |

Ion Nitride Process Furnace
This is the high-tech advancement in Nitride Processing, through the use of vacuum technology, exacting computer controls and gas mixing techniques. A case hardening process, it dramatically increases the wear resistance of tools, while significantly improving corrosion resistance. The vacuum process not only leaves surfaces clean, but also minimizes dimensional distortions. At specific temperatures and electrical voltage levels, nitrogen gases are ionized and impregnated into the workpiece surface. This creates a chemical bonding, a compound layer of Iron Nitrides. The control of temperatures, voltage and amperage, and gas mixtures work together to create the depth of penetration and degree of hardness optimal for the intended uses of the workpiece. |

even on uneven surfaces, but parts can easily be masked to prevent hardening in specific areas. Left: Ion Nitriding has wide applications in all ferrous metals and stainless steel alloys. It is reliably repeatable - part after part. Tools may be hung vertically from the top or loaded on the hearth plate. |
