Nitrex Metal Inc. has entered into a new license agreement with Carolina Commercial Heat Treating Inc. (CCHT), a leading commercial heat treater in the SouthEastern USA, to incorporate Nitreg® nitriding into CCHT's range of quality compliant heat treating services in Reidsville, NC.
Although Nitrex operates its own network of heat treating centers in North America, CCHT, a division of Gibraltar Steel, the second largest heat-treating organization in the US with 15 plants in the Southeast and Midwest, has become the first independent commercial heat treating company in the USA to offer Nitreg® nitriding services.
The partnership is expected to open new market avenues in the South-Eastern USA and will expand the application potential of Nitreg® nitriding technologies.
The system, model NX-1225, has the capacity to accommodate loads of up to 47’’ diameter x 98’’ high (1200mm x 2500mm). At the heart of the system is a comprehensive software package for running a range of Nitreg® nitriding cycles including Nitreg®-C controlled ferritic nitrocarburizing and Nitreg®-ONC® post-oxidation processes. The nitriding system is also equipped to process parts with zero white layer requirements for aerospace customers.
