Forget tufriding, think nitriding.

so it only costs roughly £30 to get done and its worth doing if you are going to stress your end? |

Nitriding is not nitrocarbonising.

You can only nitride EN40B cranks as far as I know. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

yeh cast, as in iron, not steel, cast not forged/billet I'm pretty sure that you will find that all A/A+ cranks are made from forged steel not cast. Most are forged EN16T.

nitriding is a chemical process tho too isnt it? they just bung ammonia in the furnace as a gas so it diffuses into the metal and forms nitrates with the verious alloy elements in the steel. Tuftriding is a simlar thing but with sodium cyanide in a liquid bath? the advantage of the nitriding being the lower tempretures involved dont warp the crank like sometimes happens with tuftriding and the hard layer produced is thicker with the nitriding.

Sure you don't want any more on nitriding? I'd hate to think Essex Education Authority wasted their money when they paid for me to get a BSc in chemistry Geoff |
