Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1318529A2] Soft magnetic actuator part has a surface hardness of at least 150 HV 0.01 increased by nitriding. The N concentration has the following deep profile: a top value of maximum N concentration of at least 0.2 wt.% in the depth region of up to 1 mu m, an N-concentration of at least 0.25 wt.% in the depth region of 1 mu m, an N-concentration of at least 0.1 wt.% in the depth region of 2 mu m and an N-concentration of at least 0.05 wt.% in the depth region of 5 mu m. <??>An Independent claim is also included for a process for the surface treatment of an electromagnetic actuator part comprising nitriding at 380-480 degrees C at a nitriding number KN of approximately 10, preferably in an oxygen atmosphere (oxynitriding) at an oxidation number KO of approximately 0.20.
