Nitriding
Nitriding is often one of the last process steps when
manufacturing a component.
For the nitriding process not suitable machine
parameters might cause large problems with
scrapped or delayed components.
Nitriding requires a careful and professional surface preparation.

Modern tools and technologies
Modern cutting tools coated with many super-hard layers allow you to use very high machining parameters. In addition, they allow for performing standard operations on steels after heat treatment (hardness 30÷45HRC - this is their
big advantage. At the same time, apart from the benefits, we should
know the potential risks to deal with.

Any material intended for machining should have adequate properties
to ensure the best parameters during the machining stage.

Raw material
An additional aspect is the microstructure of the raw material,
which has a significant impact on cutting parameters.

Surface activation before Nitriding process
To minimize problems with different surface quality prior to nitriding it is
recommended to perform surface activation.
Known ways of surface activation:
- chemical – oxidation, phosphating or etching in solutions of acids
- mechanical – sand/grit blasting, vibroabrasive treatment
- thermo-chemical during the nitriding process
Improve the nitrogen diffusion rate at the gas-solid interface.

Mechanical activation
Surface activation before Nitriding process
- proper abrasive material selection (grain size)
- blasting parameters (p, t)
- precise cleaning

Conclusions
- Surface condition have essential influence on Nitriding process successful
- Clean surface does not mean optimal preparation prior Nitriding
- Special care must be focused on machining stages due to Nitriding is last
operation to get final product ( feedback between designer, tool shop and
hardening shop)
