Carbonitriding
Carbonitriding is a case hardening process similar to carburizing, with the addition of nitrogen (via NH3 gas), used to increase wear resistance and surface hardness through the creation of a hardened surface layer. Carbon and nitrogen are diffused simultaneously into the surface of a steel part at a temperature within the austenitic phase region.
The carbonitriding process alters the top layer of the component so the original dimensions are retained.
The process is perfect for the mass production of small components.

Why Carbonitriding?
The martensite matrix microstructure which results from carbonitriding is one of the primary benefits of using this process.
This process is specially used for mild, plain carbon or very low alloy steels.
The surface hardness depends on the type of material.
In Carbonitriding, treatment time is generally within 2 days. Final timing depends on the desired case depth & size of the steel parts.
We charge based on the weight (kg) of material, however, pricing depends on the maximum number of pieces that can be treated at once. For details, please contact us.
