Ouzi products Excellent performance, stable quality, reasonable price, prompt delivery and perfect after-sales service.
At present, our factory's workshop area exceeds 3,000 square meters, and another 3,000 square meters is in the planning and design, covering the complete production process of material research and development, main parts production and testing. The company has 6 technicians, more than 40 employees, and many production and testing equipment imported from Taiwan and Germany.

Twin-screw extruder screw elements, also known as screw segments or screw modules, are the individual components that make up the screw of a twin-screw extruder. These elements are designed to rotate within the barrel and work together to convey, mix, and melt the plastic material being processed. Each screw element has a specific function, such as conveying, mixing, or kneading, and can be customized to meet the specific processing requirements of different materials.

The screw barrel is the cylindrical housing that contains the screw elements and provides the necessary pressure and temperature for processing the plastic material. The screw barrel and elements work together to create the required shear forces and mixing action needed to properly process the material.

2 . 38CrMoAl Nitriding Material 

38CrMoAl is a common alloy steel with good mechanical properties and heat resistance. Nitriding heat treatment is a common method for modifying the steel.
A . Principle of nitriding heat treatment
Nitriding heat treatment is to infiltrate nitrogen atoms into the surface of the material at high temperature to form a nitride layer, thereby improving the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the material. In 38CrMoAl steel, nitriding treatment can significantly improve its surface hardness and wear resistance, and prolong the service life of the material.
 

B . Steps of nitriding heat treatment
a . Pretreatment: Pretreatment of 38CrMoAl steel, including removal of surface oxides, oil stains and other pollutants, to ensure the effect of nitriding treatment.
b . Nitriding: Put the pretreated steel in a nitriding furnace, heat it to an appropriate temperature, and pass in ammonia-containing gas to make nitrogen atoms penetrate into the surface of the steel.
c . Quenching: After nitriding, the steel is quenched to allow rapid cooling to form a high-hardness nitrided layer.
d . Temperature tempering: Temperature tempering is performed on the quenched steel to reduce internal stress and improve toughness and strength.

C . Effect of nitriding heat treatment
Nitriding heat treatment can significantly improve the surface hardness of 38CrMoAl steel, usually up to 1000-1200HV. At the same time, the nitride layer has high wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively prolong the service life of the material. In addition, nitriding can improve the high temperature performance and fatigue life of the material.

D . Technology advantages
38CrMoAl nitriding process has the following advantages:
(1) Improve hardness: The nitrided layer formed on the surface of nitrided 38CrMoAl steel has a higher hardness, which can significantly improve the hardness and strength of the material and increase the service life of the material.
(2) Improve wear resistance: The nitrided layer has good wear resistance and friction properties, which can reduce the wear and friction coefficient of the material surface and extend the service life of the material.
(3) Improve surface quality: Nitriding treatment can improve the finish and flatness of the surface of 38CrMoAl steel, and improve the surface quality and aesthetics of the material.
(4) Improve corrosion resistance: The nitrided layer has good corrosion resistance and can effectively prevent corrosion and oxidation on the surface of 38CrMoAl steel.

The 38CrMoAl nitriding process is a commonly used surface treatment process that improves the hardness and wear resistance of the material by forming a layer of nitrogen-rich compounds on the surface of the metal material.

3 . The advantages 

Enhanced Wear Resistance: The 38CrMoAIA (also known as SACM645) is a high-quality alloy steel with excellent hardness and wear resistance properties. Nitriding is a surface hardening process that further enhances the screw element's durability. As a result, it can withstand the abrasive forces and high temperatures encountered during extrusion, leading to extended service life.

Improved Corrosion Resistance: Nitriding creates a hard surface layer, which also enhances the screw element's corrosion resistance. This is particularly beneficial when processing corrosive materials or operating in environments with high moisture content.

Reduced Friction and Energy Consumption: The nitrided surface of the screw element offers lower friction coefficients, resulting in reduced energy consumption during extrusion. This can lead to cost savings and increased efficiency in the production process.

Excellent Heat Resistance: The 38CrMoAIA alloy exhibits good thermal stability and resistance to deformation at elevated temperatures. This is crucial for extrusion applications that involve high processing temperatures, ensuring the screw element maintains its shape and performance under demanding conditions.

Precise and Consistent Extrusion: The design and surface finish of the 38CrMoAIA nitriding extruder screw element contribute to improved material flow and melt homogeneity. This leads to more precise control over the extrusion process and consistent product quality.

Versatility: The 38CrMoAIA nitriding extruder screw element can be used in a wide range of extrusion applications, including plastics, rubber, food processing, and more. Its versatile nature makes it a preferred choice for various industries.
