Solid state phase transformations in metals, and more precisely the science of
transformation interfaces, is a key point to understand the formation of nano/microstructure …

This completely revised and expanded new edition covers the full range of techniques now
available for the investigation of materials structure and accurate quantitative determination …

The nitriding process typically involves the introduction of nitrogen into the surface-adjacent
zone of a component, usually at a temperature between 500 and 580 deg C. This article …

As a prerequisite for the predictability of properties obtained by a nitriding treatment of iron
based workpieces, the relation between the process parameters and the composition and …

The present paper discussed the development of a reliable and robust artificial neural
network (ANN) capable of predicting the tribological performance of three highly alloyed tool …

Plasma nitriding was employed to treat martensitic stainless steel type AISI 420. The ability
to remove the passive film from the surface is an important advantage in this process in …

To investigate the morphology and the growth kinetics of nitrided layers of Fe-Cr alloys,
nitriding experiments were performed for alloys with 4.3, 7.7, 14.0, and 21.5 at. pct Cr. The …

A numerical study of the stress–diffusion coupling theory based on the Cahn–Larché
method is presented in the case of interstitial diffusion. Indeed, the interaction between …

Compound layers developed at 848 K during gaseous nitrocarburizing of iron and iron-
carbon specimens were investigated for several combinations of N and C activities imposed …

L'éco-conception est, depuis peu, une nouvelle problématique, que l'entreprise pourrait bien
prendre en compte pour en tirer, à terme, un avantage concurrentiel. C'est concevoir des …
