Nitriding Steels

The use of special, high performance steel grades is essential whenever machines and components are exposed to high surface stresses and dynamic loads. The brand name Nitrodur® covers the range of nitriding steels produced by Deutsche Edelstahlwerke GmbH. 

If high surface hardness and fatigue strength are required in applications involving high temperatures, a product such as Nitrodur® is the material of choice. The quality of Nitrodur® steels is achieved through high process reliability and modern technology for melting, highly developed secondary metallurgy, vertical continuous casting, remelting, hot forming and testing facilities.

Thanks to the use of the latest technology in steelmaking, Nitrodur® Nitriding Steels meet the toughest requirements in terms of:

• Controlled material analysis
• Specific hardenability
• Maximum purity
• High fatigue strength
• Economic machinability
