Nitrex Vacuum, Quebec, has sold a turnkey nitriding system to Posteor for its manufacturing plant in Elblag, Poland. The chosen solution was an NX series furnace, model NX-620, for nitriding challenging steam turbine components made of ST12T stainless steel using the reconstruction method.
These parts are used for steam turbines in power generation plants.
“Posteor decided to bring nitriding operations in-house because of the difficulty that heat treating service companies encountered with the complexity of the process and the uncertainty of the end results,” explains Marcin Stokłosa, project manager at Nitrex responsible for this sale.
“The turnkey system also includes remote access software, an INS neutralizer for a clean and environment-friendly process, and a custom HMI for the end-user. It is entirely automated, requiring little operator attendance or involvement,” describes Mr. Stokłosa.
