Abstract: | Conclusions Carbonitriding of sintered materials should provide a high level of impregnation with nitrogen; the level of carbon impregnation is of secondary importance and in order to provide minimum deformation it should be low. In order to obtain high mechanical properties and operating characteristics for equipment the following carbonitriding schedule is suitable; carbon potential 0.4–0.5% C, nitrogen potential 0.7–0.8% N, temperature 860°C, duration 1 h.Production Association AvtoZIL.
