Need of hardening

Types of hardening processes

Surface hardening process


PLASMA

4

PLASMA FORMATION

Fourth state of matter

Collection of nuclei and free electron

Affected by magnetic and electric field

Two types of plasma – natural and artificial

Electric discharge in mediumPower source- DC, RF, microwave



CARBURISING

6

Heat treatment processHeated in presence of carbon bearing

materialsUsed in low carbon steel or low carbon

alloysIncrease in hardnessIncrease in wear resistance


CARBONITRIDING

7

Carbon and nitrogen diffuses interstitiallyHigher hardness than carburised caseAlso known as: dry cyaniding, gas cyaniding and nicarbing

APPLICATIONGear teethCam shaftBearingsFastnersPinsHydraulic pistons

PLASMA ELECTROLYTIC CARBO NITRIDING 18

COMPARISON OF MICRO HARDNESS

Hardness increases about two times


CORROSION RESISTANCE

19

Corrosion potential of coating increases about 400mV

Current density decreases


BIO COMPACTIBILITY OF CALCIUM-TITANIUM CARBONITRIDE

CELL EXPERIMENT

20

Osteoblast cell tissue cultured in medium Absorbance of cells measured by micro plate reader Treated titanium contain more cells Cells placed in well plates of titanium alloy and bare titanium


ADVANTAGES

For hardening gear tooth

High surface hardness

Increases tensile strength and yield point

Increases fatigue life by about 30 to 100%

Good for high temperature application

Used for metals with low melting point

21


ADVANTAGES Continuation

22

Carried out at low temperature

Lesser time for treatment

Reduced distortion due to low temperature

Any complex parts can be treated

Hardened with out considerable dimensional change


APPLICATION AREAS

23

Aircraft industry

Defence

Electronic industry - Integrated chips

Internal combustion engine and compressor


CONCLUSION

24

The carbonitrided layer on aluminium contains AL4C3, ALN and AL7C3N3 phases.

PEC/N treatment greatly improves the corrosion resistance of pure aluminium.

Bio compatibility increases when calcium treated with titanium Hardness value increases Low melting point materials can be successfully treated with

pec/n process
