Nitriding solutions offer very hard surfaces, high compressive stresses and therefore high fatigue properties. Nevertheless, the nitriding depth is often limited to 500 microns which is not suitable for numerous applications.
| FOR REQUIREMENTS: | High Ductility, Deep Nitriding |
| MELT PRACTICE: | ESR/VIM-VAR |
| CORROSION RESISTANCE: | N/A |
| ALTERNATIVE TO: | M-50 Nitralloy N/135 |

Benefits of GKPW/YW
- Deeper nitriding depth (up to 1mm / 0.040”), or reduced nitriding time for a given depth
- Increased removal stock for grinding or repairs
- Process distortion controlled (air/gas quenched)
- High temperature tempering:-High temperatures use available
- Available for PVD coatings
Typical Applications
- Shafts in Aerospace and Motorsports
- Heavy loaded gears for aerospace or other industrial applications
