The influence of gas pressure on plasma nitriding of surface nanocrystalline TC4 titanium
alloy prepared by shot peening (SP) was investigated. SP treatment under 0.3 MPa-25 min …

Arc discharge plasma nitriding (ADPN) of stainless steel was achieved using the thermionic
electrons generated from column arc discharge to ionize the working gas to form a high …

The microstructure and formation mechanism of the nitrided layer by active screen plasma
nitriding on surface-nanocrystalline TA17 titanium alloy were studied by TEM. The nitrided …

Martensitic stainless steels (MSS) with excellent mechanical properties are potential
candidates used in the nuclear, marine, aeronautical, and aerospace industries. However …

Chromium–chromium nitride multi-coating barriers were synthesized on HT9 steel disks
using the electroplating and radiofrequency (RF) plasma nitriding techniques, respectively …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are becoming well established across many industrial
sectors including aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, and cold-forming tools. While DLC …

The present work evaluates the effects of different tribological process parameters on the
measured responses such as hardness, coefficient of friction, surface roughness, wear mass …

In a conventional plasma nitriding mechanism and actual processing, the sample is primarily
treated with nitrogen ions. Hence, nitriding is not mainly performed using neutral nitrogen …

Rare earth nitriding was considered as an effective method to accelerate the nitriding
efficiency. However the catalytic mechanism was not clear due to the uncertainty of rare …

In this study, nitrided 8Cr4Mo4V was characterized, using optical microscopy, scanning
electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atom probe tomography …
