leading automotive manufacturers, hydraulic and actuation system providers,
machinery contractors and producers of consumer goods. In common with other
low temperature surface treatments supplied by TTI Group, Nitrotec® does not
introduce distortion into the part, this means that components can be used and
fitted directly after treatment. Nitrotec Services offer a range of surface treatments,
designed to provide exactly the right surface conditions for each application
required by customers." Certainly we know of a number of licensees of the process
around the world and each raves about the process. Moving from Nitrotec to PVD
Coatings we received a brief education about the technology. Basically (if we
understood the process correctly) PVD provides a Titanium Nitride coating which
provides a hard wear resistance and also a very memorable golden finish which can
be seen on a variety of different parts. Both the Nitrotec process and PVD coatings
are relatively unusual in commercial heat treaters and this has given the plant a
unique niche market. PVD coatings has proven so successful that 2012 was a
record breaking year for the facility which meant an investment of over $1 million
USD in a new system which can be seen in the picture below and which just
entered service. The individuals are from the left Gord Montgomery (holding an
example of PVD coating), Matt Cross (SSI, UK), Mike Fielden (Works Manager),
