Nitridization in High-Performance Crankshafts by 13311A0341 S SHIVA SAI KIRAN is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Most production crankshafts use induction hardening on bearing surfaces because it provides good results at low cost and allows the crankshaft to be reground without redoing the hardening. High performance and billet crankshafts tend to use nitridization, which produces a very hard surface layer with compressive residual stresses that improve fatigue properties, but it is slower and more costly than induction hardening. Crankshafts using roller bearings often use carburization due to the high contact stress
