Plasma Nitriding

Plasma nitriding is a process used to improve the service life of metallic components by improving their wear characteristics, surface hardness, as well as, material fatigue. This is achieved by using a plasma glow to introduce nitrogen ions to the metals surface for diffusion in order to form nitrides.

Plasma nitriding offers a nitriding environment with the lowest activation temperatures and the most customizable process conditions of all nitriding methods. This allows us to prepare a custom process for each batch and part that is brought to us, giving us unparalleled control over the outcome of each run. This allows us to meet the most stringent specifications for speciality applications. 

Patt Technologies first dove in to surface treatment in order to improve upon its existing product offerings, bringing the first pulse plasma nitriding process to North America in 1992. We would then offer the technology to the broader market, capturing projects in the automotive, aerospace and medical orthopedic markets. Throughout the years, we have built up a lot of know how, allowing us to tackle your toughest projects.
