Nitriding is a thermo-chemical surface hardening treatment applied to steels—and other alloys as well—aimed at combating abrasive, adhesive, and erosive wear, rolling/sliding contact, and mechanical or thermomechanical fatigue. This process…
During the heat treatments of special steels – such as quenching, tempering, or annealing – it is common to observe deformations and dimensional changes. Understanding their causes is essential to…
Before submitting a die to heat treatments, the die maker should adopt a series of preliminary precautions to prevent structural defects and ensure maximum component performance. Defects such as cracking,…
