Process and control requirements
| Application | What to review |
|---|---|
| Deep case carburizing | For gears specified with a deep hardened case, review furnace loading, the boost–diffuse cycle, carbon potential and quench distortion. |
| Controlled gas nitriding | For suitable steels and specified case requirements, review nitriding potential, temperature, time and compound-layer limits. |
| Verification and records | Agree on the test locations, case-depth and hardness methods, and what batch records must accompany the component. |
