Vacuum Carburizing
Vacuum carburizing is a state-of-the-art thermal process where carburizing
is effected under very low pressures. First the parts are heated in vacuum
to above the transformation temperature of the alloy. Then they are exposed
to carbon-carrying gas, or gas mixtures, under partial pressure. Nitrex has
developed a revolutionary process called "Pulse- Pressure", a method
quickly becoming the industry standard.
Relative to conventional carburizing, the main advantages of the method
are:
repeatable results to within 0.001" (25m),
significantly reduced size changes and distortion,
improved fatigue strength,
better control of the surface layer chemistry,
the process is environmentally friendly.
The basic aspects or carburizing in general are described in the

Vacuum Carbonitriding
Ferrous alloys suffer from corrosion to some extent. Surface treatments will
weaken or enhance the corrosion resistance of the treated surface, as an
intentional design objective or a side effect. Nitriding or Nitrocarburizing
are of particular interest because in most cases such surface treatments will
be the last manufacturing operation. The nitrided/nitrocarburized
component as a finished product may require additional protection.
Corr-Check has been developed with that end in mind. It is a light, non-oil
based corrosion inhibitor, applied to enhance the corrosion resistance of
the surface, both in service as well as simply to increase the components
shelf life.
Corrosion resistance of non-stainless alloys is enhanced somewhat by
nitriding or nitrocarburizing due to the compound layer created on the
surface. However, the improvement is relatively small and a Corr-Check
treatment is frequently added as an inexpensive means of improving the
components resistance to corrosion by an order of magnitude. In as much
as a nitrided surface may show rust spots in a corrosion test even before 24
hours, Corr-Check will in most cases move that point to well over 96
hours, a traditional cut-off limit for many applications. If additional
corrosion resistance is required, the ONC process should be considered.
The treatment is equally applicable to stainless steels, which tend to lose
