Abstract:  
Crankshafts, camera parts, furniture fittings, piston rods, tools, gear wheels and many other parts have been salt bath nitrided in mass production for many years. A combination of high fatigue strength, good wear properties and high resistance to corrosion are achieved by theis process. It is not harmful to the enviroment and can be performed in fully automated facalities. Salt bath nitrocarburizing is carried out at a relatively low temperature and can be used for treating all ferrous materials. It is widely used throughout the world and its popularity is ever increasing.
