Abstract:

This study examined the phase changes, nitride precipitation and variations in hardness of Fe-18Cr-1Mo-0.2Ti (436L) ferritic stainless steels after a nitrogen permeation heat treatment at temperatures ranging from 1050°C to 1150°C. The strong affinity between nitrogen and Ti/Cr enabled the permeation of nitrogen into the 436L ferritic stainless steels. The nitrogen content of the surface layers ranged from 0.40% to 0.87%, depending on the nitrogen permeation temperatures. The nitrogen-permeated surface layers changed into martensite plus retained austenite(RA) with rod type M2N and square type TiN precipitates. Ups and downs of hardness with increasing depth below the surface was observed, depending on the volume fraction of the RA, nitrogen content and quantity of precipitates. The maximum hardness of the nitrogen permeated surface layer was 700Hv.
