Pintakarkaistamiseen
Pintakarkaistaminen, also known as surface hardening or case hardening, is a heat treatment process used to improve the wear resistance and hardness of metal surfaces while maintaining the toughness of the core material. This is achieved by creating a harder, more brittle outer layer, or "case," on a component that is still relatively ductile in its interior.
The process typically involves heating the metal part to a specific temperature and then introducing a hardening
Carburizing involves diffusing carbon into the surface of low-carbon steel at elevated temperatures. Nitriding, on the
The depth of the hardened case and the hardness achieved can be controlled by adjusting the process
