  • Case-hardening process that introduces nitrogen into the surface of a solid ferrous alloy by holding the metal at a suitable temperature (below Ac1, for ferritic steels) in contact with a nitrogenous gas, usually ammonia. Does not require quenching for production of a hard case.
  • GAS NITRIDING MICROSTRUCTURE

    EXPECTED PROPERTY

    • + Less distortion and deformation
    • + White layer gives corrosion, wear and fatigue resistance
    • + Better fatigue strength
    • + Remain inner toughness
    • + Workable with low carbon steel

    Application

    • + Automotive (plates, gears, parts etc.)
    • + Die Casting / Plastic injection molds
    • + Ship & aircraft parts
    • + Industrial, electric parts
    • + Hot forging molds
     
    STRAIGHT PUSHER TYPE
    • Traditional case-hardening process in which carbon is dissolved in the surface layer of a low-carbon steel at a temperature sufficient to render the steel austenitic, followed by quenching and tempering to form martensitic microstructure.
    • Carbonitriding hardens surface of steel by diffusing carbon and nitrogen simultaneously into steel in carburizing atmosphere with ammonia gas at around 850`c, lower than typical carburizing temperature.
    • It offers several advantages over carburizing, including low distortion, greater resistance to softening during tempering and fatigue strength.

    Operational property

    • + Selective hardening
    • + Maintain inner toughness & wear, fatigue enhancement where high frequency heated
    • + Stable carburized depth
    • + Less oxidation & decarbonizing
    • + Less deformation, less size scattering

    Application

    • + Deform sensetive Automotive parts
    • + Industrial parts
    • + Vessel & aircraft parts
