In-House Gas Nitriding

/in /by

We have in-house nitriding capabilities to provide you with a quick turnaround of your critical components.  Gas nitriding is a surface hardening process, where nitrogen is added to the surface of steel parts using dissociated ammonia as the source. Gas nitriding develops a very hard case in a component at relatively low temperature, without the need for quenching. As a result, a very high strength product with extremely good wear resistance can be produced, with little or no dimensional change. For valve components, these material enhancements translate into increased durability and service life and ultimately, reduced maintenance cost.  

Please contact us today to discuss when we could nitride your component and how we can expedite all of your future component nitriding needs.   We have the capability to nitride around the clock, providing you with more opportunities to nitride your components at a schedule that is convenient for you.  Our nitriding oven can accommodate components up to 38″ in diameter and 100″ in length.

We look forward to working with you for all your critical component needs.

Steam Turbine Valve Inspections

/in , /by

We recently performed work for a U.S. utility on one of their Main Stop Valves for a GE Steam Turbine.  We can perform valve inspections on-site or in our dedicated steam turbine valve facility in Gainesville, Georgia.  If the valves are inspected at our Gainesville facility we have the ability to make any necessary repairs, reverse engineer and manufacture components, as well as offer material upgrades for longer service life.  We also have an in-house nitriding furnace that allows to control the schedule and provide quick turnarounds on any parts that require a nitrided surface.   We have full capabilities to provide our customers with a turnkey valve service and help extend the life of your steam turbine valves.
