Critical Points of Nitriding Steels
Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the critical points of nitriding steels including an Armor Plate composition of the chrome- molybdenum-vanadium type. Conclusions include: (1) Aluminum contents of .50 and 1% raise the transformation point of chrome-molybdenum-vanadium Armor Plate 20 and 30 degrees centigrade respectively. (2) Nickel content of 3% counteracts the effect of the aluminum and lowers the transformation point of the Armor Plate composition some 30-45 degrees centigrade. (3) An addition of 1% aluminum raises the critical point some 25 degrees centigrade, which is equivalent to the combined addition of 3% chromium and .40% aluminum.
