Microstructure and Microhardness Changes of 40Cr Steel after Treatment in the Electrolytic Plasma

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work the microstructure and microhardness distribution of modified layers 40Cr (AISI 5140) alloy steel after nitriding by electrolytic plasma have been under research. It is shown that as a result of electrolytic plasma nitriding it becomes possible to increase the surface microhardness of the steel.
