Vacuum deposition is one of the technologies of the present and future - carbon-free, non-polluting and extremely efficient. In line with its commitment to offering the most appropriate solution for its customers' needs, Thermi Lyon has developed two coatings offering excellent resistance to wear, abrasion and corrosion: DLC and [...].

The best-known thermochemical nitrogen diffusion treatment is nitriding. By promoting the formation of nitrides on the surface of metal parts, this process considerably enhances their resistance to wear and fatigue. This type of method offers numerous advantages, and is suitable for the vast majority of steels, even [...].

A heat treatment operation takes place in three stages, each of which involves different parameters, notably the duration of each stage, the temperature applied and the ambient atmosphere. When in contact with certain materials, the presence of a gas can trigger a reaction that modifies the chemical and physical characteristics of the parts placed in the heat treatment furnace.

Alloys are composed of several chemical elements, of metallic or non-metallic origin. They often have improved properties compared to pure metals, such as greater mechanical strength or resistance to corrosion. Often made from iron, copper, nickel, titanium or aluminum, they are materials in their own right, with improved mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion.

Gas nitriding is a nitrogen-based heat treatment process. The technique was developed at the beginning of the last century in the armaments industry, and is now used in a wide range of industrial sectors. Because of its very low processing temperature and the many properties it confers on [...]

Annealing is one of the best-known heat treatments for metals. Induction, on the other hand, is a heating method based on the diffusion of an electromagnetic current transmitted by an inductor to the surface of parts. The combination of these two technologies is ideal for applying a localized annealing treatment to metal parts.
