ADVANTAGES

Nitriding Processes Comparison

Compare plasma nitriding with traditional gas and salt bath methods.

  • Plasma allows precise, programmable control. Gas and salt are less flexible, with slower response times.

  • Plasma operates cleanly and efficiently. Salt generates toxic waste. Gas emits ammonia and requires neutralizers.

  • Plasma delivers repeatable, uniform layers. Salt and gas can be more variable depending on setup and geometry.

  • Plasma = clean, metallic finish. Salt = black/matte. Gas = rougher, may require post-machining.

  • Plasma often eliminates the need for extra steps. Gas and salt usually require cleaning, polishing, or masking.
