4. GAS NITRIDING PROCESS
4
Gas Nitriding
In gas Nitriding the donor is a nitrogen rich gas,
usually ammonia (NH3),
When ammonia comes into contact with the heated work piece it
dissociates into nitrogen and hydrogen.
The nitrogen then diffuses onto the surface of the material creating a
nitride layer. This process has existed for nearly a century
Recent developments have led to a process that can be accurately
controlled. The thickness and phase constitution of the resulting
Nitriding layers can be selected and the process optimized for the
particular properties required.
6. PLASMA NITRIDING PROCESS
6
Plasma Nitriding, also known as ion
Nitriding, plasma ion Nitriding or glow-discharge
Nitriding, is an industrial surface hardening
treatment for metallic materials.
In plasma Nitriding, the reactivity of the Nitriding
media is due to the gas in ionized state. In this
technique intense electric fields are used to
generate ionized molecules of the gas around
the surface to be nitrided. Such highly active
gas with ionized molecules is called plasma,
naming the technique. The gas used for plasma
Nitriding is usually pure nitrogen, since no
spontaneous decomposition is needed (as is
the case of gas Nitriding with ammonia).
9. HARD CHROME PLATING
• Chrome Discovered 1798,, first successful electrolytic
• plating 1856, commercial utilization late 1920’s
•
Advantages
– Resists most chemicals, oxygen, and
moisture in air
– Does not tend to seize,, gall,, or cold weld
– Hard surface typical 62 Rc, 0.003”--0..015”
typical thickness
– Simple technology
– Excellent wear resistance
– Historically relatively inexpensive
10. ISSUES WITH HARD CHROME PLATING
– The process produces large amounts of
hydrogen gas in the gas bubbles burst
throwing hexavalent chrome solution into the
air as fine mist.
– Hexavalent chrome is a know carcinogen.
– The process produces large volumes of toxic
waste..
– EPA and OSHA have mandated more
stringent stack emission levels and lowering
of permissible exposure limits for workers.
– This results in increased costs and business
risks..
12. ADVANTAGES OF ENP
12
▪ Even coating on parts surface can be achieved.
▪ No sophisticated jigs or racks are required.
▪ There is flexibility in plating volume and thickness.
▪ The process can plate recesses and blind holes with stable
thickness.
▪ Chemical replenishment can be monitored automatically.
▪ Complex filtration method is not required
▪ Matte, semi-bright or bright finishes can be obtained.
16. PVD COATING TECHNIQUE
16
PVD is characterized by a process in which the material
goes from a condensed phase to a vapor phase and
then back to a thin film condensed phase. The most
common PVD processes
are sputtering and evaporation. PVD is used in the
manufacture of items which require thin films for
mechanical, optical, chemical or electronic functions.
Examples include semiconductor devices such as thin
film solar panels, aluminized PET film for food packaging
and balloons, and titanium nitride coated cutting tools
for metalworking. Besides PVD tools for fabrication,
special smaller tools (mainly for scientific purposes) have
been developed.
The source material is unavoidably also deposited on
most other surfaces interior to the vacuum chamber,
including the fixturing used to hold the part
19. CVD ( CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION)
19
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is
a chemical process used to produce high
quality, high-performance, solid materials.
The process is often used in
the semiconductor industry to produce thin
films.
In typical CVD, the wafer (substrate) is
exposed to one or more volatile precursors,
which react and/or decompose on the
substrate surface to produce the desired
deposit. Frequently, volatile by-products are
also produced, which are removed by gas
flow through the reaction chamber.
