BGH nitriding steels with their high wear resistance are used in gearboxes, drive shafts and conveyor shafts, among other applications. Due to the use of strong nitride formers such as vanadium, molybdenum, aluminium or chromium, these steels are particularly suitable for surface hardening by nitriding.
The nitriding process takes place after finish machining and gives your components maximum wear resistance with high surface strength and a ductile core zone. Due to the lower temperatures during nitriding compared to carburising, thermal distortion is kept to a minimum.
