Bodycote, Macclesfield, England, announces that it has acquired Nitrex Metal Technologies, which specializes in precision gas nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing in both batch and continuous processes.
Nitrex potential-controlled gas nitriding and potential-controlled gas nitrocarburizing heat treatment technologies are applied in industries such as precision parts, automotive, aluminum extrusion, defense, gears, tool & die, plastics, machinery, and many others. Continuous gas nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing are unique in the industry and are particularly suited to high-volume automotive work.
The addition of Nitrex Metal Technologies to the Bodycote Group broadens the range of thermal processing services that Bodycote offers. These services range from conventional atmosphere heat treatments such as batch IQ, vacuum, and induction, to more exotic specialty technologies such as LPC, BoroCote, and Corr-I-Dur.
According to Dan McCurdy, President of Bodycote Automotive and General Industrial Heat Treating in North America and Asia, “Nitrex Metal Technologies is a great addition to the Bodycote Group. Along with the rest of Bodycote’s existing service offerings, this acquisition really cements our position as the go-to expert source for all things nitriding.”
