PLASOX® is a special treatment and describes our PLASNIT® processes with subsequent oxidation.
As a result of this targeted post-oxidation, an oxide layer is incorporated into the compound layer. In addition to improving the sliding properties, it causes an increase in corrosion resistance. The combination of plasma nitration and postoxidation can be carried out both in a single process and in two separate processes. The PLASOX® treatment turns the plasma nitrided parts dark gray to matte black.
We recommend PLASOX® for components that require a certain degree of corrosion inhibition and act as a friction partner for another hardened part.
PLASOX®: Plasma Nitriding with Oxide Layer
Advantages of Plasox®
Extended service life
Increased strength and customized surfaces.
Short process chain
Minimization of hard fine machining and mechanical covering.
Stability
Safety through reproducible processes.
Flexibility
Depending on the component requirement, the coating can be adapted accordingly, regardless of the component geometry.
Diversity
The PLASOX® process opens up many more applications.
Environmental friendliness
No use of toxic gases.
PLASOX® is particularly relevant when a plasma-nitrided surface needs additional protection against friction and environmental influences during later use. The selection should not be based solely on the visual appearance of the surface, but on its function: Which surface runs against which counterpart, which media are present, and what service life is expected?
On this basis, RÜBIG can adapt the treatment to the component geometry, drawing specifications and operating conditions. The result is a technically sound solution for components with increased requirements regarding surface performance and operational reliability.
