Plasma Nitriding Fundamentals

The infographic brings together the ten key elements that technically define plasma nitriding: from nitrogen diffusion in the ferritic phase to the formation of nitrides with alloying elements like chromium, molybdenum or aluminum. These compact phases create hard surface layers with crystal structures that restrict atomic movement without altering the core of the material.

In this infographic: a visual summary of the most important variables to understand how the process works and what results to expect.
