Advantages

1. High Precision: The honing process ensures tight dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface finish.

2. Excellent Surface Finish: The inner surface is honed to reduce friction and wear, making it ideal for hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

3. Higher Fatigue Strength: The nitriding process of E355 black nitride salt bath honed barrel improves surface compressive stress, reducing crack initiation under cyclic loads.Ideal for high-pressure hydraulic systems.

4. Superior Wear Resistance: The salt bath nitriding process creates an ultra-hard surface layer, significantly extending service life.Outperforms traditional hard chrome plating in abrasive environments.

5. Seamless Construction: The seamless nature of the tube ensures uniformity and reliability in high-pressure applications.

6. Cost-Effective Long-Term Performance: Longer lifespan = fewer replacements & maintenance downtimes.Performs well in extreme conditions (heat, moisture, heavy loads), reducing operational costs.

7. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, and precision engineering components.

Delivery Conditions

DesignationSymbolDescription
Cold finished (hard)BKTubes do not undergo heat treatment following the final cold forming and thus have a rather high resistance to deformation.
Cold finished (soft)BKWThe final heat treatment is followed by cold drawing involving limited deformation.Appropriate further processing allows a certain degree of cold forming(e.g.bending,expanding).
Cold finished and stress-relievedBKSHeat treatment is applied following the last cold forming process.Subject to appropriate processing conditionsthe increase in the residual stresses involved enables both forming and machining to a certain degree.
AnnealedGBKThe last cold forming process is followed by annealing in a controlled atmosphere
NormalizedNBKThe last cold forming process is followed by annealing above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere.
