SDC Plasma Carburizing Treatment equipment

New Technology for Low-Temperature Plasma Carburizing Treatment of Titanium and Stainless Steel

Recently, SDC-Tanaka has seen a remarkable expansion in the demand for titanium and the development of new uses of this metal as mechanical parts, thanks to its characteristics of light weight, excellent corrosion resistance and strength. However, titanium use has been limited due to its poor wear resistance, so we he have developed technological solutions to prevent galling and fretting wear.

Our technology is employed in titanium parts used by NASDA for the International Space Station. In order to prevent the deterioration of the mechanical properties of titanium alloys and the corrosion resistance of stainless steel, the process has to be taken place in relatively low-temperature zone, below 700°C.

Upon receiving approval from NEDO (New Energy Development Organization), we developed and manufactured SDC Plasma Carburizing Treatment furnace that combines a gas quenching type vacuum furnace with a high performance micro-pulse plasma generator.

This furnace is a hybrid furnace that can be used to carry out aging process and plasma carburizing of titanium alloys simultaneously. As a product of advanced technology, this furnace can be used for a wide range of products including aerospace parts, automotive parts and food, beverage, pharmaceutical production equipments.
And it is making a major contribution to industry as a next generation surface engineering processing device.
