Benefits
- Enhanced Surface Hardness: Increases the hardness of metal surfaces, extending the lifespan of components.
- Improved Wear Resistance: Provides superior resistance to wear and fatigue, crucial for high-stress applications.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of steel types, offering flexibility in various manufacturing processes.
Process Details
- Material Selection: We initiate the process with a precise selection and evaluation of the metal to ensure optimal conditions for carbonitriding.
- Controlled Atmosphere Heating: The metal is exposed to a carbon and nitrogen-rich atmosphere at elevated temperatures, allowing these elements to diffuse into the surface.
- Rapid Quenching: Following the diffusion process, the metal is rapidly quenched to lock in enhanced surface properties, resulting in improved hardness and wear resistance.
Application and Materials
Carbonitriding is widely used in applications requiring enhanced surface hardness and wear resistance. Common materials treated by carbonitriding include low-carbon steels, alloy steels, and, occasionally, cast iron. This process is extensively applied in the automotive industry for components like gears, shafts, and wear-resistant parts. It is also used in manufacturing machinery, tools, and fasteners where improved fatigue strength and extended lifespan are essential. The dual addition of carbon and nitrogen ensures enhanced surface properties while maintaining the core's toughness.
