Ferritic Nitrocarburizing Furnace
Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a type of heat treatment process used to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of metal parts. The process involves diffusing nitrogen and carbon into the surface of the parts to create a hardened layer, without altering the properties of the underlying metal. Ferritic nitrocarburizing is often used for automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing applications where the parts are subjected to high levels of wear and tear.
The Ferritic nitrocarburizing process is typically carried out in a furnace that is designed specifically for this purpose. The furnace is heated to a temperature and a mixture of ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrocarbons is introduced into the furnace to create a nitriding atmosphere. The parts to be treated are then loaded into the furnace and held at temperature for a set amount of time to allow the nitrogen and carbon to diffuse into the surface of the parts.
Function
The chamber is a climatic chamber specifically designed to perform carbonation tests on concrete samples.
Configuration
Ferritic nitrocarburizing furnaces are typically available in batch or continuous configurations. Batch furnaces are used for small-scale production, while continuous furnaces are used for high-volume production.
Features
Ferritic nitrocarburizing furnaces feature precise temperature control, programmable recipe management, and automatic atmosphere control to ensure repeatable and consistent results.
Temperature Range
The typical temperature range for an FNC furnace as per the process requirement.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of the furnace is adjustable, with options for ramp and soak programming as per the process requirement.
Capacity
Ferritic nitrocarburizing furnaces are available in a range of sizes, depending on the volume and size of the parts to be treated.
Heat Source
The Ferritic nitrocarburizingfurnace uses electric heating elements or gas burners to generate the required heat.
Power Requirement
The power requirements depend on the size and configuration of the equipment.
Atmosphere
The Ferritic nitrocarburizing process is typically carried out in a nitrogen-rich atmosphere with the addition of a hydrocarbon gas.
