Temperature-Related Advances in Liquid Nitrocarburizing Technology

Liquid Nitrocarburizing is a proven, cost-effective way to significantly reduce wear and friction on ferrous components.  Most recently, industry demands for further improvements have prompted new developments in LNC, oriented more toward specific materials and applications. 

New LNC processes provide reduced treatment temperatures and times, while improving consistency and uniformity of results - especially on alloy steels. Both aspects offer the possibility of wider acceptance of new LNC as the default processes for upgrading performance of alloy steel components, such as, engine valves, at relatively low costs.
