PulsPlasma® Oxidation Utilization

Automotive suspension ball joints, which are continually exposed to corrosion attack, can now be effectively protected by a defined plasma oxidation step following plasma nitriding.

On tool holders for coated indexable inserts, plasma oxidizing can be used to produce an attractive, uniformly black colour.

Hydraulic pistons are durably protected against corrosion by plasma oxidizing.

Components:
Lathe tool	=>	quenched & tempered steel
Cutter heads	=>	quenched & tempered steel
Ball joint	=>	quenched & tempered steel
Hydraulic piston	=>	quenched & tempered steel

Particularities:
Process sequence ?	=>	oxidation is achieved in the same process step after PulsPlasma® nitriding, through a mere change of process gas
Corrosion resistance ?	=>	up to 200 hrs. salt spray test according to DIN
Colour ?	=>	black
Lubricating properties ?	=>	steel-on-steel sliding friction is significantly reduced
Material ?	=>	all non-corrosion-resistant steels
