Measurement of Nitriding Layer for CNC Machined Parts

f you're interested in enhancing the wear resistance and fatigue strength of your CNC machined parts, nitriding may be a viable option. However, measuring the nitriding layer is critical to achieving the desired properties.

In this blog, we will discuss the different methods for measuring the nitriding layer on CNC machined parts, including microhardness testing, surface roughness testing, and metallographic examination. We will also explore the advantages and disadvantages of each method to help you choose the best approach for your specific application.

Additionally, we'll delve into the differences between nitriding and carburizing, as well as the advantages of testing the nitriding layer by metallographic examination. By the end of this blog, you'll better understand the importance of measuring the nitriding layer for CNC machined parts and how to select the most suitable method for your needs.
