Precision Surface Treatments for Automotive Manufacturing
JGS supports automotive manufacturing applications with precision plasma ion nitriding and related surface treatments designed around the material, component, and performance requirements of each application.
APPLICATION-DRIVEN PROCESSING
Built Around Your Requirements
Automotive components can present very different surface treatment requirements. JGS works with customers to understand the part, material, and expected operating conditions before determining the appropriate treatment approach.
Material Requirements
Treatment parameters can be tailored around the steel grade, existing heat treatment, and required case characteristics.
Component Requirements
Precision processing helps address critical dimensions, working surfaces, and areas that may require selective treatment or masking.
Performance Requirements
Surface treatment can be optimized around priorities such as wear resistance, fatigue performance, friction, corrosion protection, and service life.
SURFACE PERFORMANCE
Why Plasma Nitriding for Automotive Components?
Plasma ion nitriding is a diffusion-based surface hardening process that improves the working surface of steel components without applying a conventional coating. The process provides precise control over treatment characteristics while operating at relatively low temperatures.
Improves surface durability in components exposed to friction and repeated contact.
Can improve surface performance in components subjected to repeated cyclic loading.
Low-temperature processing helps minimize growth and distortion in precision components.
PLASOX® post-plasma oxidation can provide additional corrosion resistance where required.
Creates a hardened working surface while retaining the properties of the underlying material.
Computer-controlled treatment allows process parameters to be reproduced across production runs.
