What is the difference between carburizing and nitriding stainless steel? The two sound similar, but the role of the difference is very far.

Suitable for carburizing materials, generally low carbon steel or low carbon alloy steel, carburizing to improve the carbon content of the surface of the workpiece, 

the surface to get high hardness and abrasion resistance, in the internal ability to maintain the toughness and plasticity of low carbon steel, able to withstand a certain

 amount of impact load, to achieve the effect of the external hardness of the internal toughness.

Nitriding is a chemical heat treatment process that enables nitrogen atoms to penetrate into the surface layer of the workpiece. Improve the surface hardness, wear resistance, 

nitriding temperature is low, small deformation, used for precision and wear resistance requirements of high parts, nitriding layer is relatively thin, is not suitable for bearing a particularly

 large load of parts.

What is stainless steel carburizing process?

Stainless steel workpiece in the carburizing medium heating insulation for a certain period of time, so that the carbon atoms penetrate into the surface of the workpiece, 

so that the surface to obtain a certain concentration, gradient carbon content of the heat treatment process, carburizing can improve the hardness of the surface of the workpiece, 

abrasion resistance, fatigue strength and so on.

What is stainless steel nitriding process?

Nitriding is to put the stainless steel workpiece into the nitriding atmosphere, heated to 500 ° C - 600 ° C, so that the surface of the workpiece infiltration of nitrogen atoms, 

the formation of nitrides of engineering. In order to ensure the mechanical properties of the core of the workpiece, nitriding should be modulated before treatment.
