Effect of applying a magnetic field on the ion nitriding in a glow discharge

摘要

The method of nitriding tool steels in a glow discharge with a magnetic field is considered. The influence of the magnetic field and spatial arrangement of samples of tool steels on the structural-phase composition and surface microhardness is evaluated. The properties of glow discharge in the magnetic field are studied. Volt-ampere and probe characteristics of the glow discharge in crossed electric and magnetic fields have been investigated and the modes of ion nitriding have been established.
