Nitride hardening or nitriding provides a means to increase the surface hardness of steel components. The process is carried out at a low temperature and the whole process takes place in a protective environment, giving the component a clean, polished finish.
With the nitriding process you have the flexibility to harden only selected areas of the steel component as opposed to the whole component – whatever is required. Nitriding is a specialised surface hardening treatment which needs to be carried out in controlled conditions by an expert with all the right equipment. Nitriding has the advantage over other surface hardening treatments in that the hardness is done without the need for quenching, so there are no problems with distortion.
