Aerospace Manufacturer Acquires Plasma Nitriding & Annealing Systems

A leading aerospace engine and components company based in Mobile, Alabama recently partnered with a global heat treat specialist to improve its nitriding and annealing processes with plasma nitriding technology.

Continental Aerospace Technologies™ (formerly Continental Motors), which is recognized for manufacturing piston engines for small aircraft, sought to improve its nitriding systems with high ammonia emissions and turned to RÜBIG Industrial Furnaces, an Austrian metal hardening company. RÜBIG supplied two “EVEREST 100/180 Duo” plasma nitriding and annealing furnaces, as well as a cleaning solution. The equipment provides independent multi-heating and cooling zones and the Micropuls® technology.
