Abstract Stainless steel, Co-Cr and Ni-Cr alloys have played an important role in many
industrial sectors to combat environmental degradation. However, low hardness and poor …

Metallic alloys are, by essence, ductile and stiff and can support loads without sudden
rupture. This ductility becomes a disadvantage when applications require wear resistance …

Correlations between the grain orientations and elastic properties of plasma-nitrided
polycrystalline 316L austenitic stainless steel are investigated. The grain orientations (hkl) in …

Abstract In this study, Ultrasonic Surface Rolling Technology is applied to the grinding
process of bearing steel. By comparing the effects of four different process combinations …

Inconel 690TT has been applied to steam generator for transport tube, which fretting wear
(FW) will cause serious damage on it. In this work, the ultrasonic surface rolling processing …

The nature of the near-surface γN phase produced by low-temperature (∼ 400° C) plasma-
assisted nitriding of an austenitic stainless steel 304L is studied. A combination of global …

A coarse grained NiTi alloy was subjected to high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB)
irradiation. The treatment induces superfast melting, evaporation and solidification at the top …

Crystallographic structure and lattice rotation of the 'expanded'austenite produced by means
of low temperature plasma nitriding is investigated. The microstructure of the nitrogen …

A hardened surface layer was produced on 316L austenitic stainless steel via low-
temperature gas-phase nitriding. The effects of nitriding temperature, nitrogen activity and …

An improvement of the surface properties of austenitic stainless steels and nickel‐based
alloys is obtained by low temperature plasma assisted nitriding (PAN), plasma assisted …
