Industrial Precision Components

Liquid Nitriding is an excellent replacement for hard-chrome & nickel plating:

Significantly higher corrosion resistance in Salt Spray Test (SST)
Prevents peeling and flaking (because the nitrided layer is an integral part of the base steel)
Adequate Impact & bend resistance thanks to the ductile surface
Seals and guiding components similar to those used in hard chromium plating, with potentially longer seal life
Lower friction due to post-nitriding impregnation of the surface microporosity
Lower cost option than nickel plating
