Heat Treatments, a heat treatment services provider, has added a nitrocarburizing system from a North American based company. The system supports the heat treater’s nitrocarburizing efforts, which include a variety of materials and applications, such as alloy steels, tool steels, and high-speed steels for aluminum extrusion dies.
The NXK series sees the furnace and control panel mounted on an integral platform. The particular NXK-812 model is designed to treat workloads weighing up to 2645 lbs., with measurements of 31.5″ x 47.25″. The system is equipped with process technologies such as Nitreg®-C controlled nitrocarburizing and ONC® post-oxidation.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with Heat Treatments . . . in New Zealand,” said Nikola Dzepina, account executive, Nitrex. “[P]rior installations [have been] in operation between 20-30 years.”
The system was commissioned in the first quarter of 2023.
