Are you interested in the physical and mechanical properties of nitrided structural steels from the supplier company AvecGlob? Here you will find interesting information on this topic.

General information

Nitrided steels — alloyed, or with nitride-forming components in the composition — are predominantly low-carbon. Nitriding helps to increase their surface hardness. Such steels are used in applications where it is necessary to significantly increase the wear resistance of the surface

The steels suitable for nitriding are chromium-molybdenum steels and steels, which contain aluminum. This element, when chemically treated with nitriding, gives a much higher surface hardness.

Of the elements forming aluminum nitride, chromium, vanadium and molybdenum, chromium and aluminum hardness are particularly affected.

Factors affecting the nitriding process

Since the deformability of the nitrided component depends not only on the thin, solid nitride layer, but also on the chemical composition and structure of the base material, then for all nitrided steels the following is true: the more homogeneous and fine-grained the structure, the better the result of nitriding.

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers at a reasonable price from the manufacturer a diverse assortment of nitrided structural steels that meet the technical requirements of domestic and foreign standards. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.
