The Nitrocarburizing (FNC) Process
UltraGlow® Nitrocarburizing (Ferritic Nitrocarburizing or FNC) is a thermochemical treatment which involves the diffusional addition of both nitrogen and carbon to the surface of ferrous materials usually at temperatures not exceeding 1100°F and can be either an ion or gas process.
Benefits of UltraGlow® Nitrocarburizing (Ferritic Nitrocarburizing/FNC):
- Extends part/tool life
- Adds performance, fatigue strength and endurance
- Enhances surface lubricity
- Reduces erosion
- Increases material flow in molds and dies
- Improves corrosion resistance
- No post-process machining
- Improves wear resistance
- Minimal growth/distortion
- Precise and versatile
- Phase controllable compound zone (or white layer)
