PHT Installs a Patented "State of the Art" Controlled Gas Nitriding System August 2007
Earlier this year, PHT opened a satellite facility at 1710 Greengarden Road in Erie, PA. This new installation includes a Nitreg Controlled Gas nitriding System that offers a work zone that measures 60.0" in diameter by 138.0" in height, with a weight capacity of 20,000 pounds. The unique size of this new furnace allows Peters' to offer price advantages to our new and existing customers. This new installation has brought the patented Nitreg Gas Nitriding Technology to North Western, PA.
Nitreg Computer Controlled Gas Nitriding improves fatigue strength and enhances resistance to wear and corrosion. It is a zero distortion process that results in a finished product precisely matched to the original dimensions and tolerances and requiring no further finishing work. This new system meets AMS Spec 2759/10A for Controlled Gas Nitriding.
The unique location of the Greengarden facility (just off Route 90 and Interstate 79) provides convenient access from Pittsburgh, PA, Cleveland, OH, and Buffalo, NY.
