Thyro-Wear, Ferritic Nitro Carburising & Thyro-WearOx

At Schmolz + Bickenbach, we understand that different applications require different processing. Our Pulsed
Plasma Ion Nitriding technology can produce a variety of surface treatments.

Pulsed Plasma Ion Nitriding is a chemical diffusion process employing the phenomenon of glow discharge to
affect the transport of nitrogen molecules to the surface of the work piece, creating a very hard wear surface.
