6. Pre-treatment preparations
Parts prior to carburizing, or carbonitriding, may undergo various preparation phases that are essential, or favorable, to obtaining the desired results.
6.1 Cleaning before treatment
Parts are often greased before heat treatment to prevent oxidation during transfer. They can also be covered with machining products and forming lubricants (stamping, extrusion, etc.).
In order to prepare the surface, and in particular to avoid leaving polluted areas that could act as a screen during treatment, cleaning is generally carried out:
