Process | Materials | Advantage |
Ferritic Nitrocarburising 570°C – 590°C NH3 / N2 / Hydrocarbon 50% 49% 1%
| Low Carbon Steels Alloy Steels Tool Steels Cast Iron Stainless steels Sintered components
| Significantly increased wear resistance |
Improved fatigue life. | ||
Freedom from galling and seizing. | ||
Improved corrosion resistance. | ||
A surface that is resistant to softening at temperatures up to the nitriding temperature. | ||
No significant dimensional change. | ||
Special Advantage | ||
Short process cycle time e.g. 10-180 mins compared with Qnn Nitriding 12-90 hours. | ||
Effective on all ferrous materials including carbon steels. | ||
A tougher case in comparison with gas nitriding. | ||
