Vanadium: increases wear resistance of finishing tools. • Cobalt: enables increased hardening temperatures and improves heat resistance. All types of HSS contain significant amounts of carbon, which reacts with the refractory metals to form hard carbides, which increase wear resistance and hot hardness.
iquid nitriding is a surface enhancement process with one of the longest track records of success of any ‘case hardening’ technology. It is widely used to cost effectively enhance the wear and corrosion resistance of plain carbon steels, low alloy steels, and stainless steels for a diverse range of precision components and industries, including automotive; oil & gas; hydraulic and pneumatic machinery; firearms; metal forming and forging tools; construction, transportation and material handling equipment, and general purpose industrial machinery.
