Gas Carburizing

Case hardening is specified by "hardness" and "case depth". The case depth can be specified in two ways: total case depth or effective case depth. The total case depth is the true depth of the case. For most alloys, the effective case depth is the depth of the case that has a hardness equivalent to HRC50; however, some alloys specify a different hardness (40-60 HRC) at effective case depth.

Hardening - Atmosphere

Atmosphere – Martensitic transformation, more commonly known as quenching and tempering, is a hardening mechanism specific for steel. The steel must be heated to a temperature where the iron phase changes from ferrite into austenite.

Hardening - Neutral salt bath

Salt baths are used in a wide variety of heat treatment processes including neutral hardening, liquid carburizing, liquid nitriding, austempering, martempering and tempering. Parts are loaded into a pot of molten salt where they are heated by conduction, giving a very readily available source of heat. The core temperature of a part rises in temperature at approximately the same rate as its surface in a salt bath.

Automated Gas Nitriding

In gas nitriding the donor is a nitrogen-rich gas, usually ammonia (NH3), which is why it is sometimes known as ammonia nitriding. When ammonia comes into contact with the heated work piece it dissociates into nitrogen and hydrogen. The nitrogen then diffuses onto the surface of the material creating a nitride layer.
