TOOL APPLICATIONS
Plasma Nitriding for Tools
Cutting, forming, and industrial tools are routinely exposed to friction, abrasion, repeated loading, and demanding production conditions. JGS plasma ion nitriding improves surface hardness and wear resistance while helping maintain the dimensional accuracy and underlying toughness required for precision tooling.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
Advantages of Plasma Nitriding for Tools
Improved Wear Resistance
Creates a hard, durable surface that helps protect tooling from abrasive and adhesive wear.
Extended Tool Life
Improved surface durability can help tools remain in productive service longer between replacement or maintenance intervals.
Increased Surface Hardness
Hardens critical working surfaces while preserving the strength and toughness of the underlying material.
Improved Surface Lubricity
Improved friction and sliding characteristics can help reduce resistance at working surfaces.
Greater Fatigue Strength
Enhances surface performance under repeated loading and demanding production cycles.
Reduced Friction
A low-friction treated surface can help reduce heat and wear between contacting components.
Minimal Distortion
Low-temperature processing helps preserve critical tool dimensions, geometry, and tolerances.
Selective Hardening
Specific working surfaces can be nitrided while areas that do not require treatment can be effectively masked.
Reduced Post-Processing
Plasma nitrided tooling can often be returned to service without additional machining or polishing.
Repeatable Results
Computer-controlled processing allows treatment parameters to be reproduced for consistent results across production runs.
