The Effect of Temperature Distribution During Laser Heat Treatment of Gas-Nitrided 42CrMo4 Steel on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
A gas-nitrided layer was produced on the toughened 42CrMo4 low-alloy steel using the changeable nitriding potential in order to limit the thickness of a brittle ε zone. The microstructure consisted of the compound ε + (ε + γ’) zone and diffusion zone (nitric sorbite with γ’ precipitates). Such a lay...
