Abstract:
A method for manufacturing of steel articles comprises nitriding (210) a steel article at a nitrification temperature in the interval 350-650° C., giving a nitrided steel article. The nitrided steel article is quenched (220) in a reactive quenching oil from the nitrification temperature. The reactive quenching oil comprises at least one of S, P, B, Mo and W. Thereby, the quenching additionally comprises coating (222) of the nitrided steel article by a solid lubricant comprising at least one of S, P, B, Mo and W. An apparatus for manufacturing of steel articles, a quenching oil and a steel article produced by the method are also disclosed.
