What Is Nitrided Stainless?

Nitriding is a heat treating process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a case-hardened surface. These processes are most commonly used on low-alloy steels. They are also used on titanium, aluminium and molybdenum.

What steel is nitrided?

What materials can be used for nitride? Alloy steels, carbon steels, cast irons, tool steels, stainless steels, inconel and titanium.

What is stainless steel nitrided?

SolNit^® is a heat treatment process similar to case hardening, but it uses nitrogen instead of carbon as an alloying element. The industrial process SolNit uses vacuum furnaces with high-pressure gas quenching for nitriding stainless steels. ... Eliminates the generation of metal carbides in the steel.
