Record 2 2015-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surface Treatment of Metals
CONT

Ferritic nitrocarburising is carried out at a temperature of 570 deg C and so - as with the well-known and well-established nitriding technique - distortion is minimal. ... Improvements in wear resistance result from the formation of a thin layer ... of a constituent rich in carbon and nitrogen ...

OBS

nitrocarburizing: "Nitrocarburizing" without "ferritic" normally occurs with another modifier, e.g., "gaseous nitrocarburizing", "vacuum nitrocarburizing", "salt-bath nitrocarburizing", etc., which all refer to types of ferritic nitrocarburizing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitements de surface des métaux
DEF

Traitement thermochimique appliqué à un produit ferreux en vue d'obtenir un enrichissement superficiel en azote et en carbone.

CONT

Dans ce procédé de nitro-carburation (procédé Nit-Carb) l'azote et le carbone diffusent simultanément dans l'acier pour former des couches superficielles très dures et présentant d'excellentes caractéristiques de frottement.
