Case hardening processes such as carbonitriding can be used to improve the performance of powder metallurgical structural components. Due to the amount of carbon and nitrogen introduced, it is possible to adjust the hardness and residual stress of the surface layer. Due to their porosity, powder metallurgical components show a significantly increased diffusivity and therefore increased demands on the process control. In order to be able to make a quantitative statement about the effects of diffusivity as a function of porosity, common densities of 6.9 g/cm 3 , 7.2 g/cm 3 and 7.35 g/cm 3 for PM-steel are examined in a total of ten process sequences. By means of simulative approaches, the resulting element depth profiles can be calculated and the surface layer condition can be predicted by a subsequent heat treatment simulation. In a two-part work, the mass transport during carbonitriding is investigated in the first part and the resulting surface layer conditions after heat treatment in the second part. By considering different process combinations and porosities, model approaches of volume and pore diffusion can be formulated and quantitative element depth profiles can be predicted and validated depending on the process parameters. ◼
