Nitrocarburising of Low Alloyed Case Hardening Steels Applying Three Different Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nitriding is one of the most important processes among surface technologies. The purpose of this process is to produce a wear resistant layer on the surface of components, to meet the complex requirements. Ferritic nitrocarburising was carried out at three different temperatures (520, 570 and 620°C) and with five different process times, to study the effects on process parameters . The experiments proved that in case of ferritic nitrocarburising, it is possible to produce larger diffusion zone during the same time. If the temperature is higher than the iron-nitrogen eutectoid temperature, the diffusion is deeper, but we should consider the softening of the core.
