SURFACE TREATMENTS FOR PRECIPITATION - HA R DE N A B LE STAINLESS STEELS

摘要

In-this report, selected surface treatments that are applied to precipitation-hardenable stainless steels are discussed. The treatments covered are hard surfacing, electroplating, electroless plating, carburizing and decarburize-mg, mtriding, burnishing and other finishing operations, explosive hardening, planishing, and peening. Each treatment is described and its application to the precipitation-hardenable stainless steels is discussed. Reasons for using the treatments are discussed, problem areas are identified, and recommendations for research are made.
