Nitro carburizing with post oxidation
Nitro-Carburizing/GASEOUS FERRITIC NITROCARBURIZING involves the introduction of carbon and nitrogen into a steel in order to produce a thin layer of iron carbonitride and nitrides, the “white layer” or compound layer, with an underlying diffusion zone containing dissolved nitrogen and iron (or alloy) nitrides.
Why Nitro-Carburizing?
The white layer enhances surface resistance to galling and wear. The diffusion zone significantly increases the fatigue endurance limit, especially in carbon and low-alloy steel.
Properties of Gaseous Ferritic Nitrocarburizing:
- Wear resistance
- Torsional strength
- Corrosion resistance (except on stainless steels)
- Surface hardness
- Fatigue strength
The typical type of steel used for the process is a low-carbon, low-alloy steel. However, the process can also be applied to medium and high-carbon steels.
The surface hardness depends on the type of material.
Along with post oxidation, process takes around 1-2 days though 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.
