Application of natural gas to thermochemical treatment of steel parts
Abstract
Carburizing and carbonitriding endothermic atmospheres with additions of natural gas and ammonia produce the optimum amounts of carbon and nitrogen in the diffusion layer, thus improving the wear and fatigue resistance of the steels studied by 30% as compared to thermochemical treatment by the application of liquid carburizers.
