NC<\/strong> is a special process used to harden the surface of austenitic and duplex stainless steel (RVS) without compromising its corrosion resistance (resistance to rust). In some cases, corrosion resistance is even improved!<\/p><p><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><br \/>The process is based on gas nitrocarburising, but specially adapted for stainless steel.<br \/>During the Stainihard\u00ae process, the surface of the steel is enriched with nitrogen and carbon atoms.<br \/>This diffusion takes place at a low temperature (below 450\u00b0C).<br \/>The result: a very hard outer layer (1100\u20131400 HV0.05) without loss of corrosion resistance.<br \/>The hardened zone is also called \u201cexpanded austenite\u201d or \u201cS-phase.\u201d Here, the extra nitrogen and carbon atoms are trapped, creating high compressive stresses and thus higher hardness.<br \/>Unlike classical processes (such as salt bath or plasma nitriding), Stainihard\u00ae does not form chromium nitrides or carbides, so corrosion resistance is maintained.<br \/>Stainihard is not a coating and is therefore safe for use in the food and medical industries.<\/p><p><strong>Advantages of Stainihard\u00ae<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Very high surface hardness<\/li><li>Excellent wear resistance (protection against abrasion)<\/li><li>High resistance to galling, seizing, and contact corrosion<\/li><li>Corrosion resistance is maintained<\/li><li>High resistance to shearing<\/li><li>No visible change to the surface<\/li><li>Lower coefficient of friction<\/li><li>Higher fatigue strength<\/li><li>Good dimensional and shape stability<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Hardness and depth<\/strong><br \/>The hardness of the Stainihard\u00ae layer is 1200\u20131500 HV0.01.<br \/>The hardening depth varies from 10 to 30 \u00b5m, depending on the type of stainless steel, surface condition, and degree of deformation.<\/p><p><strong>Applications<\/strong><br \/>Stainihard\u00ae NC is suitable for hardening the surface of austenitic and duplex stainless steel.

During the Stainihard\u00ae NC process, these atoms are introduced in excess into the crystal lattice of the stainless steel, resulting in significant compressive stresses. This leads to a substantial increase in surface hardness, without compromising the corrosion resistance of the base material.<\/p><p>What makes the Stainihard\u00ae process unique is that the formation of chromium nitride (CrN) and chromium carbide (CrC) is suppressed. As a result, the chromium remains dissolved in the matrix, which is essential for maintaining the passive layer and thus the corrosion resistance. This distinguishes Stainihard\u00ae from conventional nitriding processes such as salt bath or plasma nitriding, where the formation of CrN and CrC does occur and corrosion resistance is greatly reduced.<\/p><p>The depth of the formed expanded austenite zone depends on several parameters:<\/p><ul><li>The chemical composition of the chosen stainless steel type (for example, the nickel and chromium content)<\/li><li>The degree of prior plastic deformation of the material<\/li><li>The surface condition (roughness, cleanliness)<\/li><\/ul><p>These factors influence the diffusion rate of nitrogen and carbon, and thus the final layer thickness and properties of the Stainihard\u00ae treatment.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2358745\" data-id=\"2358745\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc7a31b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"cc7a31b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d24927a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d24927a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/stainihard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_6257-kl.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-6526\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stainihard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_6257-kl.jpg 864w, https:\/\/stainihard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_6257-kl-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stainihard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_6257-kl-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does Stainihard\u00ae work?
