    A clear definition of CHD can be found in DIN EN 10052, which defines the terms used in the heat treatment of ferrous materials. Our small lexicon \"The common language\" describes terms based on this standard. It is intended to help avoid misunderstandings and errors. The selection of terms is based on our practical experience. We will be happy to add more at your suggestion.<\/p>\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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Process that usually takes place after hardening or other heat treatment in order to achieve the required property values.

The medium in which nitriding is carried out should be specified, e.g. nitriding in gas (gas nitriding), nitriding in plasma (plasma nitriding).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    The NHD - Nitriding Hardness Depth is the vertical distance from the surface of a nitrided or nitrocarburized workpiece to the point at which the hardness corresponds to a specified hardness limit (GH). The hardness limit (GH) is usually defined as Vickers hardness HV 0.5. GH = (actual core hardness + 50) x HV 0.5 (rounded to 10 HV in each case).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
