METHOD OF CARBONITRIDING A STEEL COMPONENT, THE STEEL COMPONENT AND THE USE OF THE COMPONENT

Method for heat treating a steel component (28, 36) to provide the steel component (28, 36) with a surface having improved wear resistance. The method comprises the steps of carbonitriding the steel component (28, 36) at a temperature of 930-970° C., cooling the steel component (28, 36), re-heating...

Zusammenfassung:Method for heat treating a steel component (28, 36) to provide the steel component (28, 36) with a surface having improved wear resistance. The method comprises the steps of carbonitriding the steel component (28, 36) at a temperature of 930-970° C., cooling the steel component (28, 36), re-heating the steel component (28, 36) to a temperature of 780-820° C. and either quenching the steel component (28, 36) to form martensite and tempering, or quenching the steel component (28, 36) to form bainite and tempering.
