Carbonitriding – fundamentals, modeling and process optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The carbonitriding process, which involves the diffusion of both carbon and nitrogen into the base steel, can be carried out in a salt bath or in a furnace gas atmosphere. It is a modified carburizing process but is mostly done at a lower temperature and for shorter time than carburizing. This process is one of the widely used heat treatments for surface hardening. Nonetheless, there are challenges associated with the process performance and reliability.

متن کاملSystematic Business Process Modeling in a Nutshell
In-depth business process management is crucial for any institution and enterprise in a competitive world. Although this insight is by no means new, the daily practice draws another picture: Certainly, many enterprises have defined their overall strategy including IT issues at least roughly, and, based here on, have documented their business processes somehow. Rarely however, do they manage the...
