Abstract

In this paper we discuss the conventional treatments such as high pressure gas quenching (HPGQ), low pressure carburizing (LPC) and presently applied technology – high temperature low pressure carburizing with prenitriding (PreNitLPC®). The most important issue refers to the new technological option – low pressure nitriding. This technology is very useful in a case of high alloy steels treatment. That new approach of universal vacuum furnaces allows broadening the applications for industry, especially in the hardening shops. FineLPN allows the complex processes to be done only with single furnace, i.e. quenching, tempering, and nitriding of die block, pressure casting die and injection mould for elements made of tool steels.
