are there any ASTM or AMS standard for all three processes? Aware of AMS2759/8 for plasma nitriding.
Looking for industry standards for post oxidation and passivation.
I found literature on post oxidation after plasma nitriding and its benefit in improving corrosion resistance.

a pattern of axial cracks with pre spall shape around the centre axial crack observed in inner ring of 52100 ball bearing. Surface surrounding the area of axial crack shows dents. one inner ring showed spall and multiple axial cracks at several intervals. what can be the cause? bearing ran for...
I am looking for input regarding how to determine the acetylene gas flow rate for vacuum carburizing based on the total surface area of the basket. Vacuum furnace manufacturer recommendation is 150-200nl/hr of acetylene for 1square meter. how does this translate into 1500slph? I am taking in to...
Need input regarding should annealing be performed on 4340 hardened bars? 4340 bars after heat treating at 1525F/oil quench/ tempered at 1190F. Hardness lower than 28hRC. IS full anneal required prior to rehardening and tempering at temperatures around 1125-1140F.
Need information w.r.t annealing of 0.06% C steel rivets. Annealing at 1700F for 1hr is producing fully annealed structure with grain size number between 6 and 7.
Hardness measurement using vickers microhardness is not consistent. Need the hardness strictly max 60HRB.
Same rivet giving different...
