Industrial funding + MERI Green Shoots Project

Development of a high efficiency nitriding process to be combined with PVD coating in a single production unit. The project involved the development of a nitriding process to work at low pressures, achieving high plasma densities and degree of activation of nitrogen, increasing the depth of nitriding (nitriding case) on stainless steel and high speed steel substrates. The process is in industrial validation tests.
