AbstractIn this study, the effect of gas nitration on the wear behavior of crankshaft was investigated. For this purpose, gas nitration was applied to crankshaft for 12 hours at 500 ° C, and hardness and microstructure images were examined. Nitrided and unnitrided samples were subjected to abrasive wear test under 20N, 40N and 60N load. While 100Cr6 balls were used as abrasive, crankshaft with nitriding and unnitriding was used as counter-material. Nitrided samples have increased wear resistance by about 20% compared to the wear resistance of unnitrided crank shaft samples.
