Tag Archives | Measurement of Case Depth

Case and surface-hardening methods such as carburising, nitriding, carbonitriding, cyaniding, induction and flame- hardening, result in a 'depth of case' which is substantially harder than the inside section of the component called the 'core'. In every instant, the chemical composition or mechanical properties, or both, are changed by the process. An accurate method to measure the case depth is essential [...]
