The Characteristic of Surface Layers on Austenitic Stainless Steel After Glow-discharge Nitriding Process

摘要

This paper presents investigation of surface layers. The diffusion layers were produced by using different parameters of reactive atmosphere (N_2:H_2). The research of the surface layers was performed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results of energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis are presented. Research reveals the influence of chemical constitution of reactive atmosphere on the change of properties of nitrided layers.
