Nitriding is one of the most common surface heat treatments, based on the diffusion of nitrogen atoms. It is a very comprehensive method, with many advantages, not least of which is its contribution to the overall strength of steel parts. It is available in three variants, which take place in different environments: the [...]

Case-hardening and nitriding are two thermochemical surface treatment methods used to increase the resistance of parts to wear and fatigue. Although they pursue the same objective, they do not apply in the same circumstances, and a careful analysis of the situation is required before selecting one of these two [...].

What is press quenching? Advantages of the method This technology, which is not yet widespread among contract caterers, is particularly advantageous for the heat treatment of finished parts. It allows quenching without significant deformation, or rather with a level of deformation within the dimensional tolerance of the parts [...].

Water quenching is a crucial heat treatment process, offering a significant transformation in the mechanical properties of metals. The THERMILYON Group specializes in a wide range of heat treatments, with a particular focus on water quenching, a lesser-known but fundamental treatment for certain applications. Water quenching by the THERMILYON Group [...]

The term "alloy" refers to the product of fusion between a base metal, often foundry aluminum or aluminum and magnesium, and another element, such as carbon or another metal, thus enriching the chemical composition of the alloy. There is a wide variety of alloys, including light alloys, [...].
