Carbonitriding (nitrocarburising) is one of the thermo-chemical processes for steel, in which the surface of steel objects is simultaneously saturated with carbon and nitrogen at temperatures ranging from 500 to 950°C. The application of heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering produces a hard and wear-resistant surface layer. Depending on the nature of the substance releasing the carbon and nitrogen, the carbonitriding process can be carried out in bath or gaseous form.
