Types of Surface Treatment

Figure 2: Types of Surface Treatment [Author]

Surface hardening - Top surface layer infused with dopants. Surface coating - New layer is coated on the surface.

Case Hardening Chemical structure manipulation by diffusing the atoms of alternate elements.

Different types includes:

Nitriding Nitrogen is diffused into the surface of the component being treated.

Nitriding Temperature: 500-600°C [2]

2NH3 ▲ 2N + 3H2 [2]

Process Capabilities [5] Nitriding was adopted to increase the

strength of the crank shaft.

Carburization produces a hard, wear resistant layer on the surface.

Typically, case hardens low carbon steel.

Applications

Fig16:Simultaneous dual frequency (SDF) – Green Hardening (for gears). [9] Induction hardening is characterized by precise energy metering. Ultra low power consumption. Short process times. Targets surface layer alone. Save energy and reduce rework effort. SDF

Mechanical Surface Treatment

Shot Peening

Overlapping indentations are produced on the surface.

The surface of the component is plastically deformed, which induces the compressive stress on the surface.

Fatigue strength increases by 25% - 50%.

Laser Peening

The surface of the work piece is subjected to laser shocks.

As a result of which compressive stress is induced in the component, thus improving the fatigue life.

Specifications: Laser intensity - 100-300 J/cm2

Pulse duration - 30 seconds

Laser Peening emerging applications for Engine Components Reduce material cross-section and improve fuel efficiency.

Retard erosion inside fuel injector tip and reduce emissions.

Electroplating

Electroplating is carried out to impart properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance and other similar properties.

Chromium, nickel, cadmium, copper, zinc and tin are commonly plated materials.

Anodizing, galvanizing, chrome plating.
