Properties of Surface Layers Processed by a New, High-Temperature Vacuum Carburizing Technology with Prenitriding - PreNitLPC®

Article Preview

Abstract:

The variety of vacuum carburizing with prenitriding (PreNitLPC® technology) consists in metering ammonia in the stage of charge heating for carburizing to reduce grain growth in the surface layer of carburized steel. This paper presents the effect of nitrogen interaction on the reduction of austenite grain growth during vacuum carburizing and on the mechanical properties (fatigue strength, impact resistance) of the layer treated in this way in relation to conventional carburizing methods.
