Boost die life and nitriding quality by wet blasting…

Aluminium extrusion dies in storage

When preparing extrusion dies for nitriding, surface preparation is key.

Among the available methods (grinding, dry blasting, polishing), wet blasting stands out as the most effective technique. Here’s why:

✅ Produces a controlled, uniform roughness ideal for nitrogen diffusion

✅ Thoroughly cleans the surface, reducing contamination risks

✅ Gentle on the die - no micro-cracks or thermal stress

✅ Prevents abrasive embedment, unlike dry blasting

✅ Better nitriding results - improved hardness, wear resistance, and tool life
