1 Nitriding Team Nitriding
The diffusion of nitrogen into the surface layers of low carbon steels at elevated temperature. The formation of nitrides in the surface layer creates increased mechanical properties. Team Nitriding Beth Blumhardt – Brent Fogal – Greg Mooren – Jana Young

2 Nitriding Introduction Benefits of Nitriding Types of Nitriding
Future of Nitriding Process Determination CVD Reaction Deposition Process Diffusion Depth Process Results Introduction

3 Nitriding Benefits Principal Reasons for Nitriding are:
Obtain High Surface Hardness Obtain a Resistant Surface Increase Wear Resistance Increase Tensile Strength and Yield Point Improve Fatigue Life Improve Corrosion Resistance (Except for Stainless Steels) Benefits

4 Nitriding Background Improves Mechanical Properties Surface Hardness
Corrosion Resistance Chemical Reaction Nitrogen & Iron Core Properties Not Effected Temperature Range ºC Below Tempering Temperature White Layer By-Product Thin Hard Iron Nitride Background

5 ***Lots of more nitriding methods for specific applications***
Process methods for nitriding include: Gas Liquid Plasma Bright Pack ***Lots of more nitriding methods for specific applications***

6 Gas Nitriding Gas methods: Case-Hardening Process
Nitrogen Introduction Surface of a Solid Ferrous Alloy Suitable Temperature Between 495 and 565°C (for Steels) Nitrogenous Gas Ammonia

7 Liquid Nitriding Liquid nitriding: Thermo-chemical Diffusion Treatment
Hardening Components With Repeatability.  Salt Bath, at Less Critical Temperatures. Preserves Dimensional Stability Corrosion Protection Exhibit Long-Term Resistance to Wear, Seizure, Scuffing, Adhesion and Fatigue.

8 Plasma Nitriding Set-Up Process
