Three common processes are usable for steel treatment (salt, gas, plasma).<br />

Plasma nitrid<strong>in</strong>g gives the best result to <strong>in</strong>crease hardness.<br />

It´s a stable proces which produces clean surfaces (no compound layer)<br />

Meanwhile we are able to comb<strong>in</strong>e plasmanitrid<strong>in</strong>g and PVD coat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> one<br />

process; Bal<strong>in</strong>it Alcrona Advanced.
