38CrMoAl Alloy Structure Steel (Nitride Steel)- TJC STEEL.

38CrMoAl is an alloy structural steel characterized by high aluminum composition, which is generally used after quenching and nitriding.After nitriding, 38CrMoAl has high surface hardness, wear resistance and fatigue strength, and has [TJC STEEL]good heat resistance and corrosion.
The characteristic of 38CrMoAl nitriding is that the speed is fast and the depth of nitriding layer can be obtained. However, the brittleness of the nitriding layer is relatively large, so it is not suitable for making parts that bear great impact.

TRIDING TREATMENT
The process flow of nitriding parts is generally: forging → normalizing (annealing) → rough machining → tempering and tempering → finishing [TJC STEEL]machining → de-stress → fine grinding → nitriding → fine grinding → assembly.
The purpose of 38CrMoAl nitriding treatment is mainly for wear resistance.After nitriding, its hardness is as high as HV800, the hardened layer [TJC STEEL]can reach 0.30mm ~ 0.5mm.

APPLICATION
38CrMoAl is mainly used in the manufacture of parts with precise size, requiring high wear resistance and fatigue strength, and not subjected to large impact load, such as cylinder liner, bottom sleeve, gear, bolts, shaft and rotor, etc.
