SIEGMUND

Materials Comparison

Siegmund welding tables are built from premium materials, including steel, tool steel and stainless steel, with optional plasma nitriding for added durability. Their exclusive X8.7 and X8.8 tool steels are designed for demanding applications, offering high base hardness and improved impact resistance. Advanced surface treatments like plasma nitriding and BAR coating further enhance wear resistance, protect against corrosion and reduce weld spatter adhesion, ensuring long lasting performance in tough working conditions.

Material Options & Surface Protection

Siegmund Materials Comparison

Engineered for performance, built for longevity

Siegmund tables are available in a range of high quality materials, including standard steel, high grade tool steel and corrosion resistant stainless steel. Each material option can be enhanced with plasma nitriding, allowing users to match their table selection to specific performance and durability requirements.

The exclusive X8.7 and X8.8 tool steels offer significantly higher base hardness compared to conventional options, ensuring superior impact resistance and a longer service life. Combined with advanced plasma nitriding and BAR coating, these surfaces gain enhanced protection against wear, corrosion and weld spatter, ideal for demanding industrial environments.

      Plasma Nitration

      Proven surface treatment for long-lasting welding tables

      Siegmund’s welding tables have been plasma nitrided as standard since 2009. With years of experience and ongoing process optimisation, we have developed a welding table that stands out for its robustness and durability, making it nearly unmatched by other products.

      What is plasma nitration?

      Plasma nitriding is a vacuum based heat treatment that hardens the surface by diffusing nitrogen into the material at around 500 °C, creating a wear and corrosion resistant layer. The process produces minimal distortion and is environmentally friendly, using only nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen gases naturally found in air. At Siegmund, the process is powered entirely by electricity, avoiding fossil fuels commonly used elsewhere.
