The nitriding hardness depth (Nht) is an important parameter for evaluating the hardness depth of nitrided components. At GWP we offer the accredited examination the nitriding depth DIN 50190-3:1979-03 to the wear resistance and Oberflächenhärte of components.
What is the nitriding hardness depth (Nht)?
The nht describes the depth to which nitriding produces increased hardness in the material. This hardening improves the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue strength of a component. The measurement of the Nht is particularly important for heavily stressed componentsto ensure that they meet the requirements of the application.
Fields of application
- nitriding when Steels and cast iron
- Important test for automotive parts, Engineering-Components and Transmission
- Essential for the Quality control and component life
