Get top-notch results with MPS!

    • Expert Knowledge in Surface Hardening
    • Fast turnaround, competitive pricing
    • Solid Technical Expertise
    • Customer Driven Environment
  • TOOLS & MACHINE PARTS HAVE FAR HIGHER WEAR & CORROSION RESISTANCE
    An efficient low-energy method Ion Plasma Nitriding achieves: Less distortions, wear-resistance, harder finishes, dense, non-porous, reproducible results, easy masking, excellent & clean working conditions, non-toxic and in accordance to environmental guidelines.

    • A thermochemical treatment which is carried out in a mixture of nitrogen, hydrogen and an optional carbon spending gas
    • Creating a compound layer free of diffusion is usually and ideally done before adding any PVD or CVD Coating as it increases hardness, is scuff resistant, there are less distortions and you can customize layers and other components. It is also commonly used when both hard and soft surfaces are required for parts. Common applications include:

      • Gears
      • Cylinders
      • Extruder Screws
      • Milling tools
      • Drilling tools

    Milomir’s Experience & Vision

    In 1979 Milomir worked as a machine engineer and designer, specialized in high production manufacturing in the former Yugoslavia in several industries:

    • Military equipment
    • High speed production food processing equipment
    • Diverse hydraulic press applications

    In 1985 he shifted interest to hardening with a very specialized metallurgical crew. The most important knowledge and education regarding hardening came from Dr. Hristo Todorow, P.Eng, with over 40 years of experience in this field his mentorship and teachings were invaluable.

    After moving to Canada, Milomir worked for various companies to further gain experience. In 2010, pursuing his dream, He started his own company in surface hardening with ion plasma.

    As a result MPS came to fruition and opened its doors to hundreds of small and large companies in Guelph and surrounding areas stretching as far as Hamilton, Mississauga, Toronto, London, and St. Thomas to name a few. MPS’s customer base and business is growing and expanding on a continual and constant basis to reach and support the demands of its divers customers.

    Advanced Technology, Better Results!
    Nitriding in pulse glowing discharge (Plasma Nitriding or Ion Nitriding) is an efficient method to increase hardness and wear resistance of metals and alloys. The basic technological advantage of this method is the low temperature at which the process is conducted (800-1200°F), resulting in very small dimensional deformations and distortions. Ion Plasma Nitriding of components is characterized by their active participation in glow discharge, since they serve as cathodes.

    Characteristics

    • Less distortions than gas nitriding because plasma nitriding is performed at a lower temperature and under a vacuum
    • Higher surface, case, and core hardness than gas nitriding
    • Excellent wear resistance: the ion plasma nitriding process produces a compound zone that is dense, nonporous, very hard but not brittle, and has a low coefficient of friction
    • Reproducible results and better control compared to gas nitriding: the process of plasma nitriding is fully automated and computer controlled
    • Great surface finish: no additional mechanical treatments are necessary and the need to activate stainless steel grade 300 and 400 is eliminated
    • Easy masking: surfaces requiring selective treatment are easily masked with reusable mechanical masking devices that are 100% effective
    • Excellent hygiene and working conditions: the process is non-toxic and abides by all modern environmental control standards

    Applications

    • Dies and punches for metal forming
    • Gears
    • Crank shafts
    • Feed screws
    • Camshafts
    • Guides
    • Cylinders
    • Mandrels
    • Molds for plastics
    • Molds for casting of nonferrous metals and alloys
    • Milling tools
    • Drilling tools
    • Tool and die manufacturing
    • QA gauges
    • Work holding fixtures
    • Wear, friction components

    FAQs

    Get Educated on Ion Plasma & MPS
    Q. What is Ion Plasma Nitriding?
    A. Nitriding in pulse glowing discharge (Plasma Nitriding or Ion Nitriding) is an efficient method to increase hardness and wear resistance of metals and alloys.

    Q. What are the advantages/benefits?
    A. Plasma nitriding generates a surface hardness of more than 1000 HV.

    Q. What applications is this used for?
    A. The technology is suitable for all ferrous materials, even sintered steels with higher porosity, cast iron and high alloyed tool steels even with chromium contents higher than 12%. If temperature is reduced even stainless steel and nickle based alloys can be nitrided.
