Plasma Processing Services

Bodycote Metallurgical Services is the world's largest supplier of thermal processing services, with over 180 plants worldwide. The company is a specialist provider of Plasma Nitriding Services. Plasma nitriding is a low temperature treatment that provides full control of the composition and depth of the surface compound layer, thus preventing the spalling problems sometimes encountered with conventional nitriding and eliminating the need to lap critical surfaces after nitriding. Benefits of plasma nitriding: high hardness, strength and wear resistance, enhanced fatigue properties, no scaling or oxidation, very low distortion, no contamination, high degree of cleanliness, control of 'white layer', tailor-made phase mix (compound plus diffusion zone), surface finish can be retained. Applicable materials: alloys and special steels such as HDS, HSS, D2 (HCHCr), tool steel, En 41B, En 19, En 24, OHNS, cast iron, aluminium, titanium and associated alloys, stainless steel (300/400 series) and heat resistant steel, powder metallurgy components. Bodycote Pune's combination of vacuum hardening and plasma ion nitriding gives enhanced performance life for D2, HSS and HDS tools.
