_____________________________

IntroductionNitriding Services

Since it opened for business in 1995, Nitrex – Michigan has proven to be one of the most technically advanced specialized heat treating plants in the world. It was the first facility in the US to adopt the Nitreg® group of nitriding methods and has since continued its original approach of developing mastery in nitriding only. The range of processing options that this plant offers in that regard is extraordinary, as can be seen in the photographs and descriptions on this page.

Equipment & Processes

Nitriding Systems. The plant offers a complete range of furnace sizes from 16”dia x 35” (Ø40cm x 90cm) to a cuboid giant whose work zone measures 8.5 feet x 17 feet x 7 feet (2.6m x 5.2m x 2.1m) with a weight capacity of 55,000 lb (25 tons) per load.

Nitriding Furnace

What is fundamentally important is that the giant furnace is not just a large box with heaters and a pipe for ammonia. It is rather a fully engineered installation with extraordinary capabilities, superb temperature uniformity - better than +/- 6 °F (+/- 3.3 °C), and a state-of-the-art control system.

The various nitriding systems are capable of running the following processes: Nitreg®, Nitreg®-C, Nitreg®-S, ONC®, and Nano-S™. The plant also has expertise in plasma (ion) nitriding and it currently has one such furnace in service. Most of nitriding technologies are described in some detail under “Modern Surface Treatments”.

Additional Services

Auxiliary Capabilities. The plant offers limited supplementary capabilities that are linked with its core processes, such as tempering, sandblasting, or stress-relieving.

Laboratory. Our lab is equipped with sample preparation and evaluation equipment which includes a fully automatic microhardness tester, capable of running multiple profiles and saving all results.

Trucking. We have the ability to pick up and deliver small, medium and some larger loads within approximately 300 mile diameter circle that includes most of Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana. Furthermore, we cultivate relationships with multiple trucking companies that provide excellent and affordable service throughout the US. Our facility is only 14 miles from downtown Lansing and it is very easy to get to by car via Freeway 127.

Approvals

We have maintained ISO and TS (and previously QS) approvals in good standing for many years.

_____________________________

IntroductionNitriding Services

Nitrex – Nevada opened for business in January 2009 and it aims to be the best heat treat shop in the South-West. We are located in a custom-built new facility in North Las Vegas, with a view of the surrounding hills, and in close proximity to Freeway 15. Large sums of money and a lot of time are spent to install the best possible equipment and set up the best possible practices. The plant will offer a great variety of processing capabilities with a firm objective to tackle the most technically challenging products.

Equipment & Processes

Our equipment is organized in three groups, as described below, with auxiliary equipment scattered strategically through the plant.

Nitriding. The group currently comprises three cylindrical, vertically loaded furnaces with work-zones measuring 63”dia x 98” (Ø1.6m x 2.5m), 47”dia x 126” (Ø1.2m x 3.2m), and 30”dia x 36” (Ø0.8m x 0.9m). The equipment is capable of running the following processes: Nitreg®, Nitreg®-C, Nitreg®-S, ONC®, and Nano-S™. Processing methods are described in detail under “Modern Surface Treatments”. We comply with AMS 2759/10 and AMS 2759/12.

Nitriding Services

Vacuum. We are in the process of installing a vacuum furnace with integral oil quench capability. In its work-zone of 24” x 36” x18” (0.6m x 0.9m x 0.45m) we can vacuum treat (“Vacuum Treatments”) as well as vacuum carburize (“Modern Surface Treatments”) loads up to 1000 lb. Depending on customers’ requirements we plan to install additional vacuum furnace with gas quench capabilities.

Conventional. One atmosphere furnace with 1500 lb (680 kg) load capacity is already installed. We are using it to run carburizing, carbonitriding, conventional quench, and other related processes (“Conventional Heat Treatments”). The furnace is equipped with a modern control system designed by Process Electronic, allowing us to optimize each process to a higher degree than had been previously possible.

Additional Services

Auxiliary Capabilities. The plant offers various supplementary capabilities that are linked with its core processes, such as tempering, cryogenic freezing, sandblasting, straightening. Various forms of annealing, stress relief or precipitation hardening is performed with or without protective atmospheres, as desired by our customers. Some of these techniques are described under “Other Treatments”.

Laboratory. Our lab is equipped with sample preparation and evaluation equipment which includes a fully automatic microhardness tester, capable of running multiple profiles and saving all results. We also have a salt spray cabinet allowing us to perform salt spray testing in accordance with ASTM-117B specification.

Trucking. We have the ability to pick up and deliver small loads within the Greater Las Vegas area. Furthermore, we cultivate relationships with multiple trucking companies that provide excellent and affordable service throughout the US. Las Vegas is a surprisingly easy place to reach.

Approvals

Nitrex-Nevada is a new facility working towards AS9100, ISO and NADCAP approvals. Our schedule calls for a completion of the above by late 2009.
