This process is available as an option with our complete line including T-Series, Millenium Series, and A-Series to provide corrosion and wear resistance. This process has been proven to prevent corrosion caused from applications in wet or chemical environments as well as wear and fretting due to misalignment and vibration. Available as a low-cost option for our complete line of flexible couplings including A-Series, M-Series, and T-Series.
Nitrocarburized Process
Nitrocarburized is a thermo-chemical treatment for improving surface properties of metal components. It exhibits predictable and repeatable results in the treating of carbon steels resulting in superior corrosion and wear properties as well as increasing rotating fatigue strength.
Benefits of ATRA-FLEX Nitrocarburized Couplings
- Increased surface hardness
- Lower coefficient of friction
- Enhanced surface lubricity
- Improved running wear performance
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Suitable for damp, wash-down and chemical areas
- Proven in the field for harsh mining and aggregate applications
- Increased rotating fatigue strength and longer hub life in the event of misalignment or vibration
- Unlike nickel plating; nitrocarburized process diffuses small amounts of nitrogen, carbon and oxygen into the surfaces of the steel
