Sometimes even steel needs a little extra strength.
ABOUT GAS NITRIDING
Low temperatures. High resistance. A coat of nitrogen armor. Gas nitriding is a thermochemical case-hardening process used to increase wear resistance and surface hardness by diffusing nitrogen into the surface of a ferrous alloy such as steel. This makes it makes is possible to develop a very hard case at relatively low temperature that does not require quenching or tempering, resulting in minimal distortion of parts being treated.
Develops a very hard case in a component at relatively low temperature, without the need for quenching.
For additional corrosion resistance, Advanced Heat Treat Corp's UltraOx®️ treatment can be combined with the gas nitriding process.
Parts can be masked avoid hardening some areas, such as gear hubs and bores, keyways, threaded holes or bearing surfaces, which are easily machined after nitriding.
Typical hardness for different nitrided steels is shown in the table below:
