Plasma nitriding services for demanding manufacturing sectors
JGS Nitriding provides plasma ion nitriding, plasma ferritic nitrocarburizing, and Plasox® treatment for steel components used throughout a range of manufacturing industries.
These treatment options can improve surface hardness, wear resistance, fatigue performance, dimensional stability, and corrosion protection based on the material, component, and performance requirements of the application.
Based in Marinette, Wisconsin, JGS serves manufacturers throughout Northeast Wisconsin and across the United States.

Specialty applicationsPerformance Requirements
Treatment decisions begin with the component and its operating demands
Manufacturers across different industries often face similar component-performance challenges. JGS evaluates the steel, application, and desired result when discussing an appropriate treatment option.
Discuss your requirementsSurface Hardness
Plasma treatment can create a harder working surface for steel parts exposed to contact and loading.
Wear Resistance
Improved surface properties can help components withstand friction and repeated contact.
Fatigue Performance
Plasma nitriding can support components exposed to repeated or cyclical loading.
Dimensional Stability
The relatively low processing temperature helps limit dimensional change.
Corrosion Protection
Plasox® treatment can provide added corrosion protection after plasma processing.
No Conventional Coating Build-Up
Plasma nitriding changes the component surface instead of applying a separate coating layer.
