Ionitech - Hot-Wall Plasma Nitriding and Low Temperature Nitrocarburising Equipment
Ionitech's Hot-Wall plasma nitriding and low-temperature nitrocarburising equipment combines advanced heating methods using both heaters and pulsed plasma within a vacuum chamber. These systems are particularly effective for treating components of various shapes and sizes in a single batch. They adhere to the AEROSPACE MATERIAL SPECIFICATION - AMS 2759/8A and are ideal for aerospace industry applications, providing consistent temperature uniformity across all parts. The vacuum chambers, built from stainless steel, house 2 to 3 separate heating and cooling zones depending on their size, and require no water cooling. Components are placed on metal plates inside the chamber, which rest on support insulators connected to the plasma generator’s cathode. Real-time temperature measurements are possible using embedded K-type thermocouples. The plasma generator is safeguarded by a comprehensive defense mechanism and operates within an IP54 rated metal cabinet cooled by air conditioning. The integrated gas vacuum system, composed of a vacuum pump, valves, filters, pressure gauges, and controllers, facilitates chamber evacuation and gas filling, enabling the use of hydrogen and nitrogen for nitriding, and propane or natural gas for nitrocarburising. Accelerated cooling post-treatment is achieved using argon. Each unit is managed via a user-friendly PC Control Panel, ensuring precise process control. Ionitech offers a range of Hot-Wall plasma nitriding models catering to different load capacities and working volumes, from the ION-25HWI model to the ION-200HWI.
Ionitech - Cold-Wall Plasma Nitriding and Nitrocarburising Equipment
Ionitech's Cold-Wall plasma nitriding and low temperature nitrocarburising equipment are designed for treating parts using pulsed plasma in a vacuum chamber. This type of equipment is particularly suitable for similar shape and size batches. The primary benefits include reduced equipment costs, easy maintenance, and lower electrical energy consumption. The vacuum chambers can be door-type, bell-type, pit-type, or combined-type, all featuring double walls with circulating cooling water to minimize heat exchange. The inner surface incorporates two stainless steel shields separated by thermo-insulating wadding. Parts can be loaded on a metal plate or attached to hanging devices, connected to the cathode of the plasma generator. The process, visible through a sight glass, uses a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, with propane or natural gas for nitrocarburising. Cooling is accelerated with argon, and electro-pneumatic valves operate via pressed air. A PC control panel facilitates full process control. The plasma generator consists of multiple components including a power transformer and thyristor rectifier, housed in a metal cabinet cooled by air conditioning. The gas vacuum system includes various valves, mass flow controllers, and pressure gauges, ensuring efficient evacuation and gas filling of chambers.Ionitech - Double-Chamber System for No Loss In Technological Time
The advantage of Ionitech`s double-chamber Plasma Nitriding system is that there is no loss in technological time - waiting for the plasma nitrided parts to cool down to a suitable temperature before opening the chamber and loading the new batch.
