Avinit N precision plasma nitriding is a key technology for steels, alloys and precision components.

Concept

The technical idea is to form a controlled diffusion-modified surface layer under plasma conditions while preserving the functional geometry of finished or near-finished parts.

Mechanism

Plasma nitriding combines activated nitrogen species, ion bombardment, controlled temperature and diffusion into the metal surface.

Equipment implications

Equipment selection must address chamber geometry, plasma uniformity, bias control, temperature control, gas delivery, fixture design and acceptance criteria.
