Why UltraGlow®
|
Looking to improve your part performance by 6 times its current life? Seeing corrosion earlier than expected on your low-carbon steels? Not witnessing the lubricity results you had estimated on your latest part revision? Sounds like you need to investigate AHT’s UltraGlow® processes. UltraGlow® is a proven surface hardening process that can help with any of the above issues and even more. AHT’s UltraGlow® case hardening process has been in place for over 28 years and has seen its customer base reap rich rewards as a result of improved product quality. UltraGlow® nitriding, is the ultimate surface treatment for low-to-high carbon steels, cast irons, stainless steels, powdered metals and any variation of tool steels.  |
Enhance Fatigue Strength and Save $$$
Due to increased compressive stresses at the part surface, fatigue strength is improved 5-to-10 TIMES its typical “non-treated” life, dependent on the material and part design. Studies have shown fatigue strength is improved without distortion as compared to other surface treatments. Therefore, saving customers $$$ on fewer operations.
Improve Corrosion
UltraGlow’s® case hardening process can create a controlled white layer or compound zone which will improve a parts susceptibility to corrode or rust. This nitrogen enriched layer helps combat the elements and keep your parts looking fresh.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance
With UltraGlow®, surface lubricity can be enhanced tenfold. UltraGlow® nitriding will improve the overall wear and tear of moving parts within another assembly. Such results can save customers significant $$$ and time can be spent elsewhere.
Lean and Green
UltraGlow® is an environmentally friendly application. No toxic salts or gases are used within the manufacturing process. Therefore, it’s a safe and clean process that will be around for a lifetime.
