How Tuff Riding Process Helps Performance

Tuff Riding is a thermochemical process applied to steel components to improve their surface properties, significantly increasing hardness, wear resistance, and durability, making them suitable for high-temperature applications.

1. Salt Bath Nitrocarburizing: Steel parts are immersed in a heated salt bath with nitrogen and carbon compounds.
2. Diffusion of Nitrogen and Carbon: These elements diffuse into the steel's surface, forming hard, wear-resistant compounds.
3. Formation of Nitrides: This process forms iron nitrides, which are responsible for improved hardness and wear resistance.
