Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a thermochemical treatment through which the superficial layer of a steel is enriched with nitrogen and carbon. Such process creates and an enforced layer that increases the hardness of the superficial layer, offering the following characteristics to the object:
- Increase of superficial hardness
- Improved resistance to wear and tear
- Improved endurance
- Less Friction
- Moderate resistance to corrosion
DEPTH
From 0.10 to 0.60 mm (class NtE1 – NtE5 – UNI 10931)
APPEARANCE
Thanks to gaseous nitriding, the product appears neat and in a shade of opaque light grey.
STEELS AFFECTED
- Nitriding steels
- Steel used for tools
- Carbon Steels
- Tempering Steels
- Low carbon steels
- Cast-steels
