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 …

Tempering of 13 wt.% Cr martensitic stainless steel resulted in nano-sized M 3 C carbides at
300° C, nano-sized Cr-rich M 23 C 6 carbides at 550° C and sub-micron sized Cr-rich M 23 …

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 …

This study approached a low temperature hybrid gaseous nitriding and carburizing at
varying temperature and gas composition to develop S-phase layer on 316LVM steel. The …

The impact of plasma carburizing treatment on the erosion wear resistance of AISI 420
martensitic stainless steel (MSS) was studied. Experiments were carried out varying a broad …

The application of low-temperature plasma carburizing (C), nitriding (N) and nitrocarburizing
(NC) treatments in sequential steps on AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel was investigated …

Martensitic stainless steel is a potential material class for selection in some tribological
systems, particularly those subjected to wear by hard particles and corrosion. To improve its …
