Applications of Well-type Nitriding Furnace
Jan. 19, 2026
The well-type nitriding furnace is a periodic industrial electric furnace that enables nitrogen atoms to penetrate the surface of workpieces at high temperatures, forming a nitrided layer with high hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance. It is widely used in various fields such as automotive manufacturing, mold processing, mechanical parts treatment, aerospace, hardware tool production, and energy and power industries. The specific applications are as follows:

1. Automotive Manufacturing Field
Nitriding treatment of crankshafts and piston rings: Through the well-type nitriding furnace, the surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of crankshafts and piston rings are significantly improved, reducing wear and corrosion, extending engine life, and enhancing reliability.
Nitriding treatment of transmission gears: Nitriding treatment enhances the hardness of gear tooth surfaces, reduces the friction coefficient, improves transmission efficiency and smoothness, and ensures the stable operation of the transmission under complex working conditions.
Nitriding treatment of camshafts and valves: It improves the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of key components, reduces wear during high-speed operation, and ensures engine performance.
2. Mold Processing Field
Nitriding treatment of die-casting molds, injection molds, and stamping molds: After nitriding treatment, the surface hardness and wear resistance of molds are significantly increased, effectively resisting friction and wear during opening and closing, while enhancing corrosion resistance and demolding performance, extending mold service life, and improving production efficiency and product quality.
3. Mechanical Parts Treatment Field
Nitriding treatment of gears and lead screws: Nitriding treatment strengthens the fatigue strength of gears and lead screws, improves wear resistance, reduces the risk of fatigue fracture during high-speed operation, and extends service life.
Nitriding treatment of shaft parts: It is suitable for the nitriding heat treatment of long shafts, worms, and other shaft parts, enhancing surface hardness and wear resistance, and improving fatigue resistance.
4. Aerospace Field
Nitriding treatment of aircraft engine blades and turbine discs: Nitriding treatment endows components with excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, and thermal fatigue resistance, ensuring safe and reliable operation in high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-stress environments.
Nitriding treatment of landing gear: It improves the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of landing gear, reduces wear in harsh environments, and ensures flight safety.
5. Hardware Tool Production Field
Nitriding treatment of cutting tools, measuring tools, and jigs: Nitriding treatment enhances the hardness and wear resistance of cutting edges, maintains sharpness and dimensional accuracy, and improves processing accuracy and efficiency.
6. Energy and Power Industry
Nitriding treatment of steam turbine blades and generator shafts: Nitriding treatment improves the erosion resistance, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance of components, ensuring stable operation of equipment under high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-speed complex working conditions, and extending the maintenance cycle and service life.
