Nitriding and Carbonitriding Influence on Stainless Steels Surface Layers Changes

Abstract:

The structure of low-carbon steels after saturation by nitrogen and carbon in the mode of electrolytic-plasma nitriding and carbonitriding on the surface structure of austenitic stainless steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti has been studied. Optimum modes of electrolytic-plasma nitriding and carbonitriding are determined ensuring the maximum saturation of nitrogen and carbon, the microhardness of the surface. It is established, that after electrolyte-plasma processing microstructure of steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti has martensite structure. As a result of the research it is revealed that steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti after the electrolyte-plasma processing has high hardness.
