Cryogenic treatments are known to increase the wear resistance and toughness of steel.
However, the literature reports some contradictory results. This work aims to investigate and …

AISI 316L is a well known biocompatible, austenitic stainless steel (SS). It is thus a bio-steel.
Considering its importance as a bio-prosthesis material here we report the plasma nitriding …

TiN coatings were in situ deposited on un-nitrided and nitrided M2 high speed steels by
electrically enhanced cathodic arc evaporation technology. The morphology, microstructure …

Tool steels produced by powder metallurgy (P/M) processes are technologically well
established and are used in various applications. However, the need to improve their …

Tratamentos Térmicos e Superficiais dos Aços é fruto de mais uma parceria entre ABM e
Editora Blucher, e vem enriquecer a Coleção de Livros ABM, contribuindo com a série …

In plasma nitriding of cutting tools, edge embrittlement can result from both, deepest layer,
and grain boundaries precipitation. Overheating and surface charge density concentration in …

Powder metallurgy tool steels are technologically well established, being employed in
several applications. However, for certain situations, as in the case of components submitted …

AISI 52100 and 440C bearing steels were nitrided in conventional plasma (CPN) and
pulsed plasma (PPN) consisting of 0.33 and 1 N2/H2 gas ratios at temperature of 500° C for …

Recently, modified surface treatment methods for cutting tools were developed combining a
heat treatment and a subsequent hard coating (duplex treatment). As a consequence, the …

Self-consistent band structure calculations were performed on nitride RuFe3N in order to
investigate its magnetic and ground state properties. The Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital (LMTO) …
