After a four-year hiatus, Nitrex and UPC-Marathon, a Nitrex company, are returning to jointly participate at the A3TS show in Mulhouse, France. This key platform in the heat treatment and surface treatment industry brings together professionals, researchers, and experts to network, share knowledge, and showcase the latest advancements in heat treatment technologies, surface engineering, and related industries.
Building on its recent success at the Paris Air Show, Nitrex further strengthens its commitment to advancing process control solutions, vacuum heat treating furnaces, and cost-efficient turnkey nitriding systems. In this post, we will delve into the significance of France’s industrial manufacturing landscape and showcase how Nitrex remains committed to driving progress in vital sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, metallurgy, and beyond. Our goal is to collaborate with leading French industries committed to innovation and manufacturing excellence.
FRANCE’S INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING
Renowned for its strong industrial manufacturing sector, France is a prominent player in the global market. With a focus on precision engineering and high-quality production, France’s manufacturing prowess aligns perfectly with Nitrex’s mission to elevate product performance, durability, and quality through advanced heat treatment solutions.
HEAT TREAT INDUSTRY INNOVATIONS
Nitrex and UPC-Marathon’s co-exhibition at the A3TS show revolves around three core areas: process control solutions, vacuum heat treatment furnaces, and turnkey nitriding systems.
1. PROCESS CONTROL SOLUTIONS
UPC-Marathon specializes in advanced process control solutions that ensure optimal furnace performance and efficiency in various heat treatment processes. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and comprehensive data analysis, these solutions enhance productivity, reduce costs, and improve overall process and product quality.
2. TURNKEY NITRIDING SYSTEMS
Nitrex designs and delivers cost-efficient turnkey nitriding systems that revolutionize the nitriding process. These systems integrate advanced control mechanisms and Nitreg® brand nitriding technologies to achieve enhanced surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection for various components. With Nitrex’s cost-efficient systems, manufacturers can achieve exceptional results while optimizing energy usage and reducing gas consumption, resulting in improved operational sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
3. VACUUM HEAT TREAT FURNACES
Nitrex vacuum heat treating furnaces provide precise temperature control, uniform heating, and exceptional metallurgical results. They cater to a wide range of industries, enabling precise heat treatment of various materials, including steels, alloys, and more. Besides being a reliable, safe, and clean process, vacuum heat treating like nitriding shares a common goal – to improve the customer’s workflow and efficiency while maximizing the life span and performance of engineered components. These vacuum furnaces are very flexible and can handle a wide range of thermal processes, including annealing, brazing, sintering, quenching, and tempering.
MUST-ATTEND PRESENTATION: THE FUTURE OF BRAKE DISCS
During the conference portion of A3TS, Jack Kalucki, Nitrex’s Senior International Account Executive, will explore the capabilities of Smart ONC® technology, a modified ferritic nitrocarburizing process, and its alignment with Euro 7 regulations in addressing the industry’s requirements for reducing non-effluent particulate emissions caused by brake disc corrosion. The presentation will also highlight Nitrex’s furnace solution for ferritic nitrocarburizing of mass-produced grey cast iron brake discs, promoting environmental sustainability and meeting new automotive industry standards.
