Advanced Heat Treatment for Ferrules: A Game-Changer in Fluid Controls Fittings
Case hardening is crucial for enhancing the performance and durability of ferrules in Double Ferrule Fittings (DFF) and Single Ferrule Fittings (SF), which ensure secure tube connections in fluid systems. By hardening the surface while keeping the core softer, case hardening gives ferrules the necessary spring-like properties for optimal compression and bite under high-pressure and high-vibration conditions. Fluid Controls Limited has developed advanced heat treatment processes that improve corrosion resistance and achieve uniform case depth, using common nitriding furnaces for scalability and cost-effectiveness. This innovative approach ensures ferrules maintain superior surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and reliability, setting a new industry standard for fluid control systems.
