Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing sustainable manufacturing by optimizing production processes and enhancing material and energy efficiency, reducing waste, and lowering resource consumption.

We have investigated the possibility of producing a magnetic encoder by an innovative process. Instead of turning grooves in the encoder bar for precise positioning, we incorporated the information in ...

Nitriding (N) and nitrocarburizing (NC) are thermochemical treatments that diffuse nitrogen and carbon into the surface of metals. Nitriding is used on ferrous, titanium, aluminum, and molybdenum ...

Hardenability is the term used to describe the effect of various elements on the transformation characteristics of steels and the resultant microstructure after cooling from the austenitising (or ...

A recent study in Advanced Materials Interfaces examined γ’-Fe₄N nitride layers, formed on iron, as a potential barrier against hydrogen permeation. Using a simple gas nitriding process at 570 °C, ...

Active screen plasma nitriding (ASPN) is a widely used coating process that has demonstrated its ability to significantly improve the corrosion resistance of many products. When applied to the ...

I have had several people ask me to explain the salt bath nitriding process that several rifle and pistol barrel manufacturers utilize. By now, most of us have noticed rifle barrels with coating ...
