Description / Abstract:
Purpose
This specification establishes the requirements and procedures
for producing a hard, wear resistant ion nitrided surface on steel
parts.
Application
The ion nitriding process is typically applied to increase
surface hardness, increase wear resistance, and reduce coefficient
of friction of alloy steels, tool steels, nitriding steels,
corrosion resistant steels (CRES), carbon steels, ferrous powder
metal products, and other ferrous alloys but usage is not limited
to such applications. See 8.2.6 for other materials that can be ion
nitrided.
