Vacuum furnace for plasma nitriding
max. 600 °C | VI6_ series B.M.I. Fours Industriels

The vacuum furnaces of the VI6_ family are cold wall plasma nitriding furnaces with mobile bell Ion nitriding is a plasma technique that helps create resistance, i.e. protection of an area of the part that one does not wish to nitride (simple metallic masks are sufficient for protecting the part).

The load is set at a cathodic potential while the chamber is set at an anodic potential. The difference in potential thus created enables, under a sufficiently low pressure, the creation of a plasma dissociating the gaseous species. So there is a release of active nitrogen that is accelerated in the direction of the load to create plasma nitriding around it.
