The present work shows AISI-SAE 1020 steel’s nitrocarbide layer’s microstructure and micro-hardness profile following 4 hours at 700°C using methanol, isopropanol and triethanolamine. The steel was then hardened by quenching it in water and then tempered at 350°C for 1 hour. Its surface had been partially oxidized by heating it at 400°C for 1 hour. An example is given of other researchers analyzing microstructure and properties in steel having 0.5% C, using endothermic gas and different amounts of ammoniac.
En el presente trabajo se pueden observar la microestructura y el perfil de microdurezas de la capa nitrocarburada a 700°C durante 4 horas de un acero AISI-SAE 1020, utilizando metanol, isopropanol y trietanolamina, el cual fue sometido posteriormente a temple en agua y revenido a 350°C durante 1 hora. El acero fue calentado inicialmente a 400°C durante 1 hora para oxidar parcialmente la superficie. A manera de ejemplo, se presenta previamente un análisis de la microestructura y propiedades obtenidas por otros investigadores en un acero con 0,5% C, utilizando gas endotérmico y diferentes cantidades de amoníaco.
