Heat Treating 1141 for Corrosion Resistance
Heat Treating 1141 for Corrosion Resistance
(OP)
I am trying to avoid plating, coating, etc. on a hardened part but still need for it to resist corrosion. I'm heat treating a part made of 1141 to Rc 58. The company hardening my part is using the furnace then performing the quenching in an oil bath. In this typical application can I assume some corrosion resistance, or do I have better options. Also, I am using 1141 and not stainless, as I have extensive machining on this part.
Thanks
Thanks

No, you cannot assume corrosion resistance.
If you want recommendations for appropriate materials (including surface treatments), please reply with details regarding the final application, forces, environment, etc.
