Which is clean process carburizing or carbonitriding ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Carburizing is a cleaner process compared to carbonitriding.

Carburizing involves introducing carbon into the surface of a metal to increase its hardness, while carbonitriding introduces both carbon and nitrogen.
Carburizing typically requires fewer process steps and is more cost-effective.
Carbonitriding can lead to the formation of more complex compounds, which may require additional post-treatment processes.
Carburizing is often preferred for parts that require high wear resistance, such as gears and bearings.
