Inspection Facilities at BLW – A Leading Liquid Nitriding Service Provider in Delhi NCR
Understanding Liquid Nitriding – Liquid nitriding is not a coating or plating process; instead, it is a diffusion process that transforms the surface of the treated metal component. During this process, nitrogen atoms are diffused into the metal’s surface, creating a modified surface layer that is well integrated with the bulk material. This integration ensures that the surface is highly durable and not prone to issues like flaking or peeling, making it ideal for components requiring enhanced wear resistance and longevity.
Key Advantages of Liquid Nitriding
- Surface Integration – The diffusion process ensures that the nitrided layer becomes a part of the base material, providing a robust and wear-resistant surface.
- Corrosion Resistance – The nitrided and oxidized surface exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments.
BLW’s Commitment to Quality
As a leading Liquid Nitriding Service Provider in India, BLW rigorously inspects each component using advanced technology to ensure precise nitrided layer depth and uniformity. This dedication to quality makes BLW a trusted partner for superior surface treatment solutions.
What is the difference between Liquid Nitriding and Liquid Carbo Nitriding?
- Chemical Composition:
- Liquid Nitriding: This process primarily introduces nitrogen atoms into the surface of the metal. The liquid medium used contains nitrogen-rich salts, which diffuse nitrogen into the metal’s surface.
- Liquid Carbo Nitriding: This process introduces both nitrogen and carbon atoms into the metal surface. The liquid medium contains a combination of nitrogen and carbon-bearing compounds, leading to the diffusion of both elements into the surface.
- Resulting Properties:
- Liquid Nitriding: The primary result is a hardened case with excellent wear resistance and surface hardness. It also enhances fatigue strength. This makes it suitable for parts like valves and gears, where wear resistance is crucial.
- Liquid Carbo Nitriding: This process results in a case that not only has improved surface hardness and wear resistance but also increased toughness and impact resistance due to the presence of carbon. It’s ideal for parts like springs and pins, which require high-impact resistance.
- Applications:
- Liquid Nitriding: Commonly used for components that need high wear resistance but may not necessarily need high toughness, such as gears, shafts, and certain types of bearings.
- Liquid Carbo Nitriding: Preferred for parts that require a balance of wear resistance and toughness, such as springs, pins, and fasteners that are subjected to high-impact loads.
In summary, the main distinction lies in the elements diffused into the metal and the resulting mechanical properties, with liquid nitriding focusing more on wear resistance and liquid carbo-nitriding enhancing both wear resistance and toughness.
