A leading automotive Gas spring cylinder manufacturer has recently taken a significant step in optimizing its heat treatment operations with the installation of a Pit Type Gas Nitriding Furnace from S.R. Thermal Solution. Specially designed for Ferritic Nitrocarburizing & Steam Oxidation processes, this advanced furnace technology a capacity of 1500kg and is tailored to meet the rigorous demands of the global automotive industry.

Much like a complex manufacturing process where every element must align for peak efficiency, automotive heat treatment requires precise and reliable equipment. The Pit Type Gas Nitriding Furnace addresses these needs by offering a comprehensive range of heat treatment options, including:

• Gas Nitriding under dissociated ammonia
• Gas Nitrocarburizing with CO2
• Gas Nitrocarburizing + Steam Oxidation
• Only Steam Oxidation
• Stress Relieving / Tempering

Prior to the installation of this advanced solution, the manufacturer utilized liquid Nitriding that, while functional, did not offer the level of customization and flexibility now achieved. Recognizing the need for a cutting-edge furnace to handle a variety of processes, the company selected S.R. Thermal Solution’s Pit Type Gas Nitriding Furnace to increase operational efficiency and production quality.

The implementation of this nitriding furnace has already started transforming the company’s heat treatment operations. Production workers benefit from the enhanced capacity and flexibility, allowing for more precise control over the treatment process. The tailored design of the Charge Tray has led to more efficient loading and unloading of parts, streamlining workflows and minimizing downtime.

Senior managers at the client’s facility have noted the positive impact of the installation. “This upgrade has not only improved our production efficiency but also given us the flexibility to handle multiple heat treatment processes with a single furnace,” commented the plant’s heat treatment manager.

The investment in S.R. Thermal Solution’s advanced nitriding furnace supports the manufacturer’s commitment to innovation, quality, and efficiency. As the automotive industry continues to push the boundaries of performance and precision, solutions like the Pit & Horizontal Type Gas Nitriding Furnace ensure that manufacturers remain competitive while meeting the stringent quality standards of the market.
