What is the difference between plasma nitriding and gas nitriding? What is the difference between plasma nitriding and gas nitriding? The fundamental difference between the two processes lies in the physical state of the nitrogen donor. During plasma nitriding, nitrogen capable of diffusion is supplied from the plasma to [...]
What is the difference between hardening/case hardening and nitriding? What is the difference between hardening/case hardening and nitriding? In contrast with case-hardening, no phase transformation occurs during nitriding because it takes place at comparably low temperatures. As a result, rework is not usually required and the [...]
Can I replace chrome plating with plasma nitriding Can I replace chrome plating with plasma nitriding In many applications, plasma nitriding can replace chrome plating. It offers the advantage that no environmentally harmful or toxic substances are used. At the same time, the treated parts show better performance in [...]
Why do I oxidise components after nitriding? Can I replace burnishing with it? Why do I oxidise components after nitriding? Can I replace burnishing with it? Components are oxidised with nitriding if the corrosion resistance or the run-in behaviour is to be improved. This occurs in [...]
Which specifications belong on a nitriding drawing? Which specifications belong on a nitriding drawing? Nitride layer specification: Surface hardness in HV Core hardness in HV Layer thickness specifications (diffusion layer and compound layer) Nitriding hardness depth Depending on the application, process and material, not all specifications [...]
