Carbonitriding - Metal Treatment Services
Carbonitriding Description:
Carbonitriding is a case hardening process in which carbon and nitrogen (introduced by carbon rich gas and ammonia to furnace atmosphere) is absorbed at the surface of a steel component to produce upon quenching a hardened surface layer to a required depth.
Component suitability:
Shafts, levers
Advantages of Carbonitriding:
Produces a hard wearing surface for lower alloyed steels such as mild steel than that could not be achieved with gas carburising alone.

Typical materials:
S1214, 1020, Mild steel
Carbonitriding Furnace types available
Sealed quenched furnaces, rotary retort furnaces.
Possible limitations.
Distortion of component could be expected and a grinding allowance may be necessary.
