摘要 |
A method of producing a workpiece of a heat-resistant steel, such as hot forming tool steel, where the workpiece may be hardened and depassivated after mechanical machining and electrochemical treatment. The hardening including a reduction step, so that no depassivation need be performed by pickling, for example, before nitriding. The result of the hardening treatment is a favorable surface condition for stepwise nitriding.
