The versatility of the NITREX turnkey system, process technologies, and library of proven recipes make it adaptive for a wide range of applications. For SAGLAM, the system is used to nitride/nitrocarburize a variety of different parts, part sizes, and materials to various specifications for the automotive, extrusion, tooling, and other manufacturing industries.

The turnkey system delivered to SAGLAM METAL includes a 5500 lb.
