Isn't trading work great.  Everybody gets what they want and  nobody has to get out the wallet to do it. ;D

I personally love the trade deal. Rick and I do it all the time. Works out great. In most cases it works out better than the cash because we end up trading for something more valuable to the recipient on both ends.

Oh by the way. Looks great Rick! now are they already carburised or is that after welding. I would assume after?

So how do you actually do it?  Do you need an oven?  Is it something you can do at home or do you have to send it out?

We can and do carburise at work. All you need is a smoke wrench and the compound with a bucket of water. You get the area you want to harden red hot and dip into the coumpound. I do this twice and then quench it. Cant even strike a file on it afterwards. Really simple but I learned by watching a fellow co-worker do it. Stinks too!

You do know what the carburizing compound is don't you? No wonder it stinks.LOL!!!

It was the Carbonitriding process that I was asking about.  With the amonia mentioned as a source of nitrogen, I figured it had to be done in a sealed environment or something.  I have done the carburizing process before.

Finally done with the sprockets. Had the 15T welded up today and spent some time filing the splines tonight. I wanted to loosen up the fit a little before heat treat.
Hopefully the id won't shrink much.

excellent work Rick. When we rough shafts before heat treat the length for ablut every 2 ft. shrinks about .020.

Not sure if that applies here though.
