Low-temperature treatments have become a valuable method for improving the surface
hardness of stainless steels, and thus their tribological properties, without impairing their …

Demand for higher wear and corrosion resistance components has attracted increasing
interest in surface engineering. This line of research develops alternative processes for …

Effective hardening depth (EHD) and surface hardness (SH) achieved by carburizing heat
treatment play vital roles in guaranteeing the fatigue performance of heavy load carburized …

AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was treated by active screen plasma nitriding. The test
table was placed inside the steel screen but isolated from the cathodic potential. The …

Plasma carburizing has emerged as a potent technique for improving the wear resistance of
stainless steels, and sustaining or improving corrosion resistance through a suitable choice …

In this study, we report the mechanical properties, microstructure and corrosion behavior
99+% dense 420 stainless steel parts fabricated by laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF). As …

The effect of multi-step austempering treatments on the microstructure and mechanical
properties of a novel medium carbon high silicon carbide-free bainitic steel was studied …

Diffusion behavior of carbon and its hardening effect on plasma carburized M50NiL steel
were investigated systematically. The plasma carburizing was carried out in a mixture of …

Abstract M50NiL (Chinese grade G13Cr4Mo4Ni4V) steel is widely used in aircraft bearing
raceways that require excellent wear resistance under harsh service conditions. However …

Low-temperature plasma nitrocarburizing was performed in order to study the effect of
treatment temperature and time on the microstructure, mechanical properties and growth …
