How does one achieve optimum results with Corr-I-Dur®?

How does one achieve optimum results with Corr-I-Dur®?

The achievable surface hardness mainly depends on the base material. Alloying elements such as chrome and aluminium lead to higher hardness. The Nitriding depth depends on customer requirements. Also the component’s condition at delivery, i.e. distortion, heat treatment status also affect the layer parameter to be achieved. Dimensional changes can further be positively influenced by…
