Thyro-Wear, Ferritic Nitro Carburising & Thyro-WearOx 

At Schmolz + Bickenbach, we understand that different applications require different processing.  Our Pulsed 
Plasma Ion Nitriding technology can produce a variety of surface treatments. 
 
Pulsed Plasma Ion Nitriding is a chemical diffusion process employing the phenomenon of glow discharge to 
affect the transport of nitrogen molecules to the surface of the work piece, creating a very hard wear surface.
