Advantages and Disadvantages of Nitriding

Advantages and Disadvantages of Nitriding Points : Advantages and Disadvantages of Nitriding Advantages

1. Better retention of hardness at elevated temperatures.
2. Greater fatigue strength under corrosive conditions.
3. Less warping or distortion of pans treated.
4. Higher endurance limit under bending stresses.
5. Greater resistance to wear and corrosion.
6. Greater surface hardness.

Disadvantages

1. Necessity of using high alloy containers to resist the nitriding.
2. High furnace costs due to the long lime of treatment.
3. Necessity of using special alloy steels.
4. Medium used is expensive.
