Carbonitriding – Advanced Surface Hardening Treatment for Industrial Components
Carbonitriding is a surface hardening treatment that enhances the wear resistance, surface hardness, and fatigue strength of industrial components. Unlike traditional carburizing methods, the carbonitriding process is performed at lower temperatures (870–880°C) and in a shorter duration, making it ideal for high-performance steel components.
One of the significant advantages of carbonitriding heat treatment is that it minimizes distortion and ensures that metal components retain their original shape. This process provides exceptional surface durability, improving wear-resistant coatings and corrosion resistance for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.

Applications of Carbonitriding
The carbonitriding process is widely used in metal treatment for enhancing durability and component performance. Key applications include:
Gears and shafts – Improved surface hardness for heavy-duty machinery.
Rollers and bearings – Enhanced fatigue strength for high-speed applications.
Synchro rings – Increased wear resistance for automotive transmissions.
Sintered parts – Superior durability for industrial equipment.
With carbonitriding heat treatment, manufacturers can significantly boost component reliability, ensuring superior wear-resistant coatings and long-term performance.
