Product Overview
Nitriding Salt is a cyanate-based salt bath compound for the liquid nitrocarburising (salt bath nitriding) process. At 560°C–570°C, the molten salt diffuses nitrogen and a small amount of carbon into the steel surface — forming a hard compound layer that dramatically improves wear resistance, anti-seizure properties and scuffing resistance.
The process uses two salts together: the base nitriding salt and a regenerator salt (Hard Temp CN2). The regenerator replenishes the CNO content consumed during treatment, keeping the bath within specification. Because the process temperature is well below the steel's transformation range, components experience minimal distortion — a critical advantage over higher-temperature surface treatments.
