Abstract
Plasma processing may be successfully applied in the treatment of textile machine components. A few years industrial practice has shown not only a technical improvement, but also a considerable economic efficiency. Three characteristic case histories demonstrate the main features of plasma nitriding technology; process parameters have to be experimented for every part and/or every specific group of parts, depending on material quality, service requirements a.s.o. Good results may be obtained concerning increased wear and long cycle fatigue resistance on parts for sewing machines, knitting machines and weaving machines. Small size equipment for plasma nitriding or carbonitriding can be available (efficient) for even small factories. The energy savings may be of about 40 pct compared with common heat treatment practice, and the general cost reduction is of 15 to 20 pct (with heat treatment and other auxiliary operating costs taken into consideration).
