Reasonable Balance between the Wear Resistance and the Corrosion Resistance of a Nitrided Austenitic Chromium–Nickel Steel
摘要
Abstract
08Cr18Ni10 and 12Cr18Ni10Ti steels are investigated after high-temperature gas nitriding performed in various saturants (nitrogen–argon mixtures). The resultant microstructure, surface microhardness, and wear and corrosion resistance indices are measured. The rational TCT conditions for the achievement of various physical and mechanical properties of a nitrided layer are determined.
