Advantages of Liquid Nitriding Compared
to Other Surface Engineering Options |
| Compare Liquid Nitriding to Carbonitriding or Carburizing |
- Low distortion due to lower treatment temperature.
- No need for further machining operations.
- Superior adhesive wear resistance thanks to the ceramic characteristics of the surface.
- Hot strength up to 400°C.
|
| Compare Liquid Nitriding to
Plating (chrome, nickel etc) |
- Excellent corrosion protection in alkaline or neutral environment.
- Superior adhesive wear resistance thanks to the ceramic characteristics of the surface.
- No peeling or flaking since the layer is formed directly from the base material.
- No micro cracks.
- No need for grinding operation after treatment.
- Low coefficient of friction.
- Higher environmental favorability; no hex chrome exposure.

Compare Liquid Nitriding to
Plasma or Gas Nitrocarburizing |
- Superior corrosion and wear resistance in high volume production.
- Low distortion thanks to the quick and very constant heat transfer by the liquid medium.
- Excellent reproducibility and constancy of the treatment results.
- Very robust process; less sensitive to surface contaminants.
- Easy to control because only a few parameters have to be monitored.
- Shortest cycle times as CLIN offers the highest nitrogen potential.
- Meets the environmental legislation and standards without problems.

| Compare Liquid Nitriding on
Low alloy or Non-alloy steel
to Stainless Steel |
- Cost reduction.
- Superior wear resistance.
- Lower coefficient of friction.
- Inhibit fretting corrosion.
