Treatment Stop-off compounds
Sole
distributor of stop-off paints from Acheson (Carbostop® and Nitrostop®)
for customers spcecialised in the heat treatment (carburising, nitriding,
plasma nitriding). They are thermochemical treatments, usually conducted
at temperatures in the range of 800°C-940°C.
These processes change the chemical composition of a low-carbon steel
component at the surface.
These products are stopping off paints to prevent carburising,
carbonitriding occuring during hardening in controlled atmosphere furnaces.
