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 …

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 …

Erosion-corrosion is a significant concern across industries, impacting equipment lifespan
and efficiency. When erosion-corrosion occurs, the resulting damage becomes complex …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of heat treatment routes involving
carburizing and quenching technique on the tribological behavior of carburized AISI 8620 …

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 …

The effect of low-temperature gaseous carburization on Al x CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys
(HEAs)(x= 0.1 and 0.5) was investigated. The results show that low-temperature gaseous …

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

Corrosion resistance of plasma carburized AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was
evaluated by cyclic polarization test in 3.5% NaCl solution. Two distinct treatment groups …
