Practical Nitriding and Ferritic Nitrocarburizing
Chapter 16: Examination of the Nitrided Case
-
Published:2003
Abstract
Examining and evaluating the nitrided case is generally accomplished by hardness testing and microscopic examination. This chapter discusses both characterization methods, as well as sample preparation. The chapter also discusses the processes involved in the etching of the sample after microhardness testing and provides practices that contribute to the safe preparation of specimens. Examples of nitrided case microstructures, using optical light microscopy, are also presented.
