Deoxo Nitrogen for Heat Treatment & Metal Processing
Achieve ultra-high purity nitrogen (99.999%) for heat treatment and metal processing operations requiring an inert atmosphere with virtually no oxygen contamination.
Why Ultra-High Purity Nitrogen in Heat Treatment?
Heat treatment and metal processing operations demand the highest purity nitrogen to prevent oxidation, decarburization, and surface contamination that can compromise material properties and product quality.
Oxidation Prevention
Eliminates oxygen to prevent surface oxidation and scale formation during high-temperature heat treatment processes, ensuring bright, clean metal surfaces.
Material Properties
Maintains precise material properties by preventing decarburization and ensuring consistent hardness, strength, and microstructure throughout the heat treatment cycle.
Surface Quality
Produces bright, oxide-free surfaces that eliminate the need for post-treatment cleaning and pickling, reducing processing time and costs.
Process Control
Enables precise atmosphere control in furnaces and heat treatment equipment, ensuring repeatable results and consistent product quality batch after batch.
Equipment Protection
Protects furnace components, heating elements, and fixtures from oxidation and degradation, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.
Cost Efficiency
On-site ultra-high purity nitrogen generation eliminates expensive cylinder deliveries and provides nitrogen on-demand at a fraction of the cost of traditional supply methods.
