PERFORMANCE BENEFITS

Advantages of Plasma Nitriding and PLASOX® for Shafts

Improved Wear Resistance

Helps protect journals, bearing surfaces, splines, and other high-contact areas from wear.

Greater Fatigue Strength

Improves surface performance under repeated loading and cyclic operating conditions.

Increased Surface Hardness

Creates a hardened surface layer while maintaining the properties of the underlying material.

Reduced Friction

Improves surface characteristics at sliding and rotating contact points.

Minimal Distortion

Low-temperature processing helps maintain critical dimensions and tolerances.

Corrosion Protection

PLASOX® treatment can provide additional corrosion protection for shafts exposed to demanding environments.

Extended Component Life

Improved wear and fatigue performance can help increase shaft service life.

Improved Surface Performance

Provides a durable treated surface designed for demanding rotating and mechanical applications.

Selective Hardening

Specific areas can be treated or masked depending on the requirements of the shaft.

Repeatable Results

Controlled processing allows treatment parameters to be tailored to material and application requirements.
