12033. Nitriding Process

Letter 12033

Nitriding Process

We are manufacturers of jobs requiring case hardening and we are doing it successfully . We wish to start nitriding process also but we don't have any idea of the process of nitriding surface hardness. We request you to please inform the nitriding process on jobs with dimensions of 100 mm max on all sides.

We shall be thankful if you could provide us the required information at the earliest.

Thanks,

One option is salt-bath nitriding as offered by Kolene. There is a paper in our on-line library about the Quench-Polish-Quench method.

Hi, Rasskesh. There is gas nitriding, salt bath nitriding, plasma nitriding, and maybe more that you would need a process description for.

This public forum works quite well at helping people through specific individual problem areas -- and there are 50 thousand threads here. Unfortunately, that also renders it so completely disorganized that it is close to useless as a substitute for books and their clear tutorial focus :-)

I think you'll need to hunt for a good nitriding book for process descriptions. Good luck.
