Oxynitriding is an environmentally friendly surface treatment that offers a cleaner alternative to traditional plating processes used for corrosion protection.
After a standard plasma or gas nitriding process, the part undergoes a steam oxidation treatment, which forms a protective Fe₃O₄ (magnetite) oxide layer on the surface. This process is widely applied to components where corrosion resistance and appearance are critical—offering enhanced performance without hazardous emissions.
