Solution treatment is the first part of the process of precipitation hardening. The material is heated and soaked at its Solvus temperature limits of solubility in its solid phase. This is done to dissolve the precipitates and reduce the segregation that might be present in the alloy which enhances the strength, toughness, and wear resistance […]
Mastering Gas Nitriding Process
Mastering Gas Nitriding Process Introduction The Gas nitriding process is diffusion of nascent nitrogen into the surface of steel components to increase the surface hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength of the component. Gas nitriding furnace involves heating steel to temperature, typically between 491°C and 566°C. Unlike carburizing, which involves introducing carbon into the metal, gas […]
Case Hardening Process
An In-Depth Overview Case hardening and surface hardening process is a metallurgical process where the surface of a metal, typically low-carbon steel, is hardened while maintaining a softer, ductile core. This process creates a hard outer layer that enhances wear resistance, while the inner core remains flexible, ensuring the part can absorb shocks and stresses. […]
Mastering Through Hardening Process
Introduction The hardening process is a crucial heat treatment technique that enhances the strength, toughness, and wear resistance of steel components. This method is widely used in industries where components must withstand heavy mechanical loads and prolonged wear. In this blog, we’ll explore the entire hardening process, the materials treated, the industries that benefit from […]
