Why 3D welding platforms need to do nitriding treatment
- Nitriding principle
Nitriding is mainly the use of suitable nitrogen-containing compounds, so that a component of the catalyst is converted to nitride. For example, when ammonia comes into contact with a heated steel surface, it breaks down into activated atomic nitrogen and hydrogen, and the nitrogen diffuses into the steel to form nitrides to harden.
2 ） 3D welding platforms treated with nitriding can bring multiple benefits that are directly related to the platform’s performance, service life, and work efficiency.
Improved surface hardness and wear resistance:
Nitriding treatment can form a layer of high hardness nitride layer on the surface of the platform, this layer of nitriding layer has a very high hardness, which can significantly improve the platform’s abrasion resistance and scratch resistance
Enhance corrosion resistance:
Nitriding layer can protect the platform from oxidation and corrosion, especially in wet or corrosive environments, this protective effect is particularly obvious.
Enhanced coefficient of friction:
Nitriding layers can alter the coefficient of friction of the platform surface, making it more suitable for specific application scenarios. For example, in some cases, increasing the coefficient of friction can improve the clamping force and stability of the workpiece.
Improved thermal stability and heat resistance:
Platforms treated with nitriding can still maintain good performance in high-temperature environments and are less prone to deformation or dimensional changes, which is especially important for welding platforms that need to work under high-temperature conditions.
Extend service life:
Due to the high hardness and corrosion resistance of the nitrided layer, the service life of the platform can be significantly extended, which reduces the cost of repair and replacement due to wear and corrosion.
Improvement of surface quality:
The surface of the platform after nitriding treatment is smoother and more uniform, which helps to reduce errors and defects in the welding process and improve welding quality.
Improved work efficiency:
Due to the increased hardness and corrosion resistance of the platform surface, there is less friction and wear during the welding process, resulting in increased work efficiency and productivity.
Improvement of clamping force and load capacity:
Nitriding treatment enhances the material properties of the platform, which significantly improves the clamping force of the bolts and the load capacity of the table, ensuring the stability and reliability of the platform in the working process.
Environmental protection:
Nitriding treatment mainly uses nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen and other air components, friendly to the environment, in line with the requirements of modern manufacturing green production.
