Nitrocarburizing System Installed for Aluminum Extrusion Manufacturer

A manufacturer of aluminum profiles and complex extrusion press products recently purchased a nitrocarburizing system for its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in northwestern Romania.

Quebec-based Nitrex delivered and installed the turnkey NX-815 nitrocarburizing system for Swiss corporation Alu Menziken Extrusion AG, incorporating the Nitreg®-C technology for treating aluminum extrusion dies at the greenfield site which produces a range of profile products for aerospace and automotive companies. The process technology adapts to the application requirements to deliver improved performance of extrusion dies.

“With a focus on the environment, Alu Menziken also sought to introduce eco-friendly technologies for all equipment at its greenfield facility. Not only is there a benefit of reduced process gas use with the Nitrex system, the integral high-efficiency neutralizer also helps comply with environmental regulations,” said Marcin Stoklosa, Nitrex European Project Manager.

A metal processing company based in Lansing, Michigan, which provides numerous heat treating services such as annealing, quench & tempering, and stress relieving, recently added Ferritic Nitrocarburizing (FNC) to its process offerings.

Atmosphere Annealing, a division of Premier Thermal Solutions (PTS), supports automotive, energy, aerospace, agriculture, heavy equipment, heavy truck, rail and wire rope industries to customers throughout the U.S. Midwest.

An excerpt:

“FNC, a low-temperature process, typically is used on plain carbon steel components.  FNC is known for providing a high level of wear resistance, low distortion, improved fatigue properties and greater corrosion resistance.  Depending on requirements, FNC often is used as an alternative to carburizing and carbonitriding.”
