EFFECT OF CARBON CONTENT OF NITRIDING STEEL

Abstract

The higher carbon content of nitriding steel becomes the more difficult nitriding. That is, carbon has effect Principally on hardness of nitrided layer in short time nitriding but produces much difference in depth in long time nitriding.
Thus the present auther has come to the conclusion, That carbon prolongs the saturation with nitrogen, and retards the diffusion velocity of nitrogen in inner part of steel during nitriding.
