An Investigation of Carburized Layers on Austenitic Stainless Steels

Abstract:

In this study, low temperature plasma carburizing of austenitic stainless steels has been studied, with the aim to improve the hardness and wear resistance of austenite layers. Austenitic stainless steels were plasma carburized at 450°C, using C3H8 as carbon carrier gas. Depth profiles of hardness, hardness distribution and the friction coefficient of carburized layer were measured. The results show that carburized layers range from 10 to 20μm, causing the improvement of the hardness and wear resistance of the surface of austenitic stainless steels.
