Case hardening — or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material s surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy. Case hardening is usually done after the part in question … Wikipedia
case-hardening — the process of hardening the surface of steel while leaving the interior unchanged. Both carbon and alloy steels are suitable for case hardening providing their carbon content is low, usually up to a maximum of 0.2%. Components subject to this… … Mechanics glossary
Induction hardening — is a form of heat treatment in which a metal part is heated by induction heating and then quenched. The quenched metal undergoes a martensitic transformation, increasing the hardness and brittleness of the part. Induction hardening is used to… … Wikipedia
Diffusion hardening — Schematic cutaway view of a diffusion hardened metal gear Diffusion hardening is a process used in manufacturing that increases the hardness of steels. In diffusion hardening, diffusion occurs between a steel with a low carbon content and a… … Wikipedia
induction hardening — a widely used process for the surface hardening of steel. The components are heated by means of an alternating magnetic field to a temperature within or above the transformation range followed by immediate quenching. The core of the component… … Mechanics glossary
nitriding — a case hardening process that depends on the absorption of nitrogen into the steel. All machining, stress relieving, as well as hardening and tempering are normally carried out before nitriding. The parts are heated in a special container through … Mechanics glossary

Steel — For other uses, see Steel (disambiguation). The steel cable of a colliery winding tower … Wikipedia
Ferritic nitrocarburizing — Not to be confused with Carbonitriding. Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a range of case hardening processes that diffuse nitrogen and carbon into ferrous metals at sub critical temperatures. The processing temperature ranges from 525 °C… … Wikipedia
Heat treatment — is a method used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment… … Wikipedia
Nitridization — Nitridization, also known as nitriding, is a process which introduces nitrogen in the surface of a material. It is used in metallurgy, for example, for case hardening treatment of the steel surface.Nitriding is widely used in automotive,… … Wikipedia
