Surface Hardening Procedures for Steels

​How does surface hardening procedures alter the microstructure of steel?

This webinar describes and illustrates surface hardening procedures for a wide variety of steels with multiple examples to show how these procedures alter the microstructure and surface hardness. Tempering must be performed on surface hardened steels, but generally the temperatures used are rather low causing little loss of hardness.

In this webinar you will be shown examples of:

•Surface hardening procedures
•How such structures can be revealed using different etchants
•Hardness data for most processes as a function of the depth below the surface
•Failures due to improper surface hardening procedures that caused service failures
