Carbonitriding is a thermochemical process that increases steel’s resistance to wear caused by time and the weather.
Treating steel is therefore fundamental, because it strengthens the material before it goes on the market. Although steel is strong in its original form, it needs to be treated to better withstand the weather and external agents.
Advantages and methods of carbonitriding
How does carbonitriding work? The steel to be treated is exposed to a mixture of gaseous and liquid substances, such as carbon and nitrogen, at a temperature of between 700 and 900 degrees. Why choose this metallurgical process? It is a very complex heat treatment that requires competent, qualified staff able to carry out the work safely. Working at high, but not excessive, temperatures, carbonitriding prevents the material from distorting too much during the process.
When should carbonitriding be chosen? This treatment is best suited to thin materials, especially metal contact surfaces.
Rely only on competent, qualified staff
As we have said, carbonitriding is a very delicate and demanding steel treatment that requires competent, qualified staff at every stage.
Treating steel is very important, but it is just as important to do it safely. You therefore need a company that meets all these requirements, a company like T.M.G., which has specialised for years in series production of mechanical components.
