Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3160425A1] The invention relates principally to a method for treating a part (P) made of ferrous metal, comprising: a nitriding operation forming on the part (P) a combination layer (2) having a thickness of between 5 and 30 pm, and a diffusion region (3), arranged beneath and in contact with the combination layer (2), having a thickness of between 100 pm and 500 pm; then an operation of quenching the part (P) by high-frequency induction, over an induction depth that is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, thereby hardening the part (P) and lending said part (P): ? a surface hardness greater than or equal to 50 HRC, ? a hardness of the combination layer (2) greater than or equal to 400 HV0.05, ? a hardness of the part of greater than or equal to 500 HV0.05 at a depth of 500 pm, and wherein the high-frequency induction quenching operation is carried out without the application of a protective film on the part (P) prior to the induction quenching operation. The invention also relates to a part (P) made of ferrous metal, having significant resistance to wear by abrasion and adhesion, improved friction properties and improved resistance to scaling, and good corrosion behavior.
