WEAR COMPONENT APPLICATIONS
Plasma Nitriding for Wear Components
Components exposed to repeated sliding, rolling, friction, impact, and abrasive contact can experience premature surface wear and reduced service life. JGS plasma ion nitriding improves surface hardness and wear resistance while maintaining the strength and dimensional accuracy of the underlying component.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
Advantages of Plasma Nitriding for Wear Components
Improved Wear Resistance
Creates a hard surface that helps protect components from abrasive and adhesive wear during repeated operation.
Reduced Friction
Improved friction and sliding characteristics can reduce surface contact wear between mating components.
Greater Surface Hardness
Hardens critical working surfaces while maintaining the mechanical properties of the underlying material.
Extended Component Life
Improved surface durability can help components remain in service longer before repair or replacement is required.
Improved Fatigue Strength
Enhances resistance to surface fatigue caused by repeated cyclic loading, sliding, and rolling contact.
Reduced Galling & Scuffing
Improved surface properties can help reduce material transfer and damage between contacting metal surfaces.
Minimal Distortion
Low-temperature plasma nitriding helps preserve critical dimensions, tolerances, and component geometry.
Corrosion Protection
PLASOX® treatment can provide additional protection where wear components are exposed to moisture or corrosive environments.
Selective Hardening
Specific wear surfaces can be treated while areas that do not require nitriding can be effectively masked.
Repeatable Results
Computer-controlled processing allows treatment parameters to be reproduced for consistent production results.
