Plasmaterm

Some conversations only happen when you're at the right table.

Plasmaterm is heading to CastForge 2026 in Stuttgart — June 9 to 11 — and we couldn't think of a better place to be.
CastForge is the trade fair built around exactly what we do: the full journey from raw casting to finished, ready-to-install component. It's where foundries, processors, buyers, and engineers meet to talk about what quality actually looks like in practice.
We'll be there to talk about investment casting, precision machining, plasma nitriding, and heat treatment — and how combining these capabilities under one roof changes what's possible for your supply chain.
Whether you are sourcing complex components for automotive, aerospace, energy, railway, or heavy machinery — or want to benchmark what precision manufacturing can deliver today — we look forward to a conversation.
Come and find us in Stuttgart. Let's talk about what we can build together.

Process engineers and quality teams often evaluate plasma nitriding based on the initial process price.

That number does not represent total process cost.

Plasma nitriding runs at lower temperatures than the salt bath. Less distortion. Which means less re-machining, tighter dimensional control, and lower rejection rates. And no hazardous waste disposal cost — ever.
When total production cost is included, conventional heat treatment can be 20–40% higher than the quoted price suggests.

DM us your alloy grade. We'll show you a hardness profile comparison on the same material.
