Nitreg Nitriding

Nitrex Metal Technologies Inc. uses the patented Nitreg technology to heat treat your metals. This superior method is used by some of the most reputable surface treating companies in France, England, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand, to name a few.

Typical applications of the Nitreg method include stampings, forgings, castings, and machined parts used in machinery, defense, aerospace, automotive, tool and die, oil drilling, mining, and paper mill industries. These parts processed with the Nitreg treatment have a higher surface hardness than parts treated by conventional heat treatment. The service life of Nitreg treated tools can be increased by 50-100%.

Many of our customers have chosen Nitreg as a replacement for carburizing, ion nitriding, or salt bath nitriding, reaping the benefits of no distortion and elimination of costly finish grinding. As an example, a diesel engine manufacturer who replaced conventional gas nitriding of crankshafts with Nitreg gas nitriding was able to shorten the time required for the finishing operation by 75%. Another customer migrated to Nitreg technology from ion nitriding to alleviate the problem of non-uniform nitriding at the root of the gear teeth and in recessed cavities.
