High-Nitrogen Carbonitriding

Jens Baumann Karl-Michael Winter Alexandre Fleurentin
March 9, 2017
No Comments

Carbonitriding studies with a high amount of nitrogen are characterized by adding ammonia to the process gas at a higher rate than the usual 3-5%. This work focuses on the impact of nitrogen on the lifetime of carburized parts (e.g. gears, sprockets, bearings, crankshafts) exposed to Hertzian pressure or fatigue.
