surface technology and heat treatment in Telford
Aalberts surface technologies in Telford is the premier site for nitriding where we specialise in the low distortion, low temperature, thermo-chemical process. It has unrivalled capacity across highly controlled gas and plasma nitriding processes and is accredited to aerospace requirements.
The staff at Telford are expert in advising the nitriding characteristics achievable from all material types, from low alloy steels to high quality grade stainless steels and inconel alloys.
about our location in Telford
Aalberts surface technologies Telford has capacity capable to handle a comprehensive range of product and batch size, from small series through to 10 Tonnes in weight, and sizes up to 4.2m long and up to 1.6m diameter.
Our nitriding range includes our “controlled gas nitriding” which is a fully automated process. It is a development of the standard gas nitriding process where constant monitoring of the load temperature, time, dissociation atmosphere factors and nitriding potential (Kn) translate to automated action inputs which enhance repeatability and consistency and fully remove the need for human intervention during the cycle.
“Our controlled gas nitriding process is to nitriding as CNC is to precision engineering. We closely control all essential parameters throughout the entire process to ensure a consistent and reliable hard diffusion layer on the component. Ultimately achieving negligible to no growth on the component means that often the customer requires no finish grinding. The process is environmentally friendly, resulting in clean and uniform in appearance parts, with no distortion. It is reliably consistent and repeatable for your desired results regardless of batch size.”
