Characteristics:
- No surface oxidation or intergranular oxidation occurs
- Less distortion
- Reduced need for grinding allowances
- Case hardening possible in holes starting from a few tenths of a millimeter in diameter
- Precise control of case depth (±0.05 mm)
- High consistency and repeatability
- Simplified protection of areas that must remain untreated
Suitable materials:
All types of steels, including MnCr, MnB, NiCrMo, CrNiMo, etc. Each material has specific low-pressure carburizing parameters.
Typical applications:
- Transmission pinions – Steering pinions – Power steering pump pinions – Nuts – Injectors – Nozzles – Pump housings – Various gears – Bearing bushings – Wear bushings – Seal seat bushings
