Vesuve Vacuum Furnace
The treatment of nitriding is carried out by means of a furnace with air convection forced with a pressure of work ranging between 20 to 50 mbar relative and of a mixture of active gas. This technology makes it possible to increase the gaseous exchange on the surface of the parts. Moreover, the quality of the treatment will be ensured by the fact that the load is to place in a tight heat-resisting steel muffle. The active species N result from chemical reactions and the dissociation of ammonia NH3 at the temperature of treatment (500 to 600°C).
