The Italian gear manufacturer's order of Nitrex's large-capacity nitriding systems "is a continuation of our collaboration, and we look forward to strengthening this partnership further,” says Marcin Stokłosa, project manager at Nitrex.

The Capi Group owns four pit-type nitriding/nitrocarburizing furnaces of the same model type and larger size, which consist of  Nitreg® and Nitreg®-C technologies, +/-3°C temperature homogeneity in the retort, and eco-friendly IN-500 exhaust neutralizer to support a clean and green operation.

The new Nitrex furnaces, which comply with the Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) 2750 for pyrometry and 2759/10 for controlled nitriding, are integrated into the existing production line and connected to a closed-loop water cooling system. The latter is an environmentally friendly feature that recirculates a steady supply of cooling water to cool furnace elements.

The new systems have been operational for a few months.

Youngstown Tool & Die Expands with New Nitriding Capabilities

HTD Size-PR LogoOhio-based aluminum extrusion die manufacturer Youngstown Tool & Die (YTD) continues with their expansion strategy, scaling up value-added nitriding services. The installation of the new nitriding system makes it possible for YTD clients to obtain greater performance results from treated dies.

In the last quarter of 2020, Youngstown Tool & Die expanded with NITREX Canada to incorporate Nitreg® controlled nitriding with the installation of a Nitrex turnkey gas nitriding system, complementing their range of heat-treating services.

Roll-out of the expansion started last summer when YTD relocated to a larger manufacturing facility and made investments in new production and finishing equipment to increase its manufacturing capabilities and meet the growing demand in the USA. As part of the new production, YTD installed a Nitrex pit-type NX-1015 nitriding system that boasts a 4,400 lbs. (2,000 kg) capacity for treating aluminum extrusion dies.

"This is the company’s first purchase of a Nitrex nitriding system and we are glad to be part of their growth strategy," said Jack Kalucki, account executive at Nitrex.
