Technical explanation
Carbonitriding process
Ammonia is introduced while carbon is diffused into low-carbon steel, generally at 800–900 °C. Nitrogen enrichment improves surface wear resistance.
The lower temperature and shallower case can reduce distortion risk compared with conventional carburizing, making the process useful for small and thin-section components.
