Carbonitriding of housing components is one way to improve wear resistance, thermal and chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance.
The process consists of treating the part surface in a special atmosphere containing carbon and nitrogen. Carbon and nitrogen diffuse into the surface layer, forming a hard solution known as a carbonitride.
The carbonitride layer formed by carbonitriding offers high wear resistance, thermal and chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance. This extends the service life of housing components, improves equipment performance and reduces maintenance and repair costs.
The advantage of the process is that the carbonitride layer forms to a depth of only a few micrometres on the surface, without changing the part’s dimensions or shape. In addition, carbonitriding is carried out at relatively low temperatures, helping to avoid deformation and changes in the material properties of housing components.
Thus, carbonitriding is an effective way to increase wear resistance, thermal and chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance of housing components, which can significantly improve equipment performance and reduce maintenance and repair costs.
