Pit furnace NX series

carbonitridingnitridinggas

There’s a good reason why the heavy-duty NX Pit is the flagship of our range of nitriding/nitrocarburizing furnaces. Its innovative design incorporates multiple controlled heating zones that ensure optimal temperature uniformity inside the retort, typically +/-5 °C (9 °F) or better. NX furnaces are designed for fast heating rates and uniform temperature throughout the load. FEATURES & BENEFITS - Inconel 600 (refractory steel) retort and racking for long service life and non-reactive interaction with nitriding atmosphere - Uniform temperature distribution obtained through independently controlled heating zones and intensive atmosphere circulation ensuring full control of nitriding potential throughout all stages of the process - Light ceramic fiber insulation reduces heat loss and thus energy consumption - Kanthal long-lasting heating elements - Integrated cooling systems - Larger furnaces may be equipped with a ‘Turbo’ cooler for accelerated load cooling. This option is used where productivity is a major issue. - Preconfigured and factory tested - Pretested for metallurgical results - Fully automated operation guarantees repeatable and consistent results - True Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing Process Control – Compliant with AMS 2759/10 and AMS 2759/12 standards - Superior case properties per customer specifications - Various case configurations possible - Repetition of results - System for data archiving and reporting as well as remote diagnostics - SCADA connectivity - Clean, environmentally-friendly processes powered by Nitrex effluent neutralizers
