“…Recently, the growing demands for practical surfaces obtained by machining (corrosion resistance, wear resistance, greater hardness, and, fatigue limit) leads to a dependence significantly on the use of thermochemical treatments on exposed parts, particularly nitriding treatment [9]. Surface roughness-specific properties, such as surface hardness, modified surface chemistry, and increased surface roughness, are essential considerations in evaluating surface changes in nitriding components.…”

To evaluate the performance characteristics of various surfaces, a detailed and precise description of the surface's micro-geometry properties is required. In this context, roughness is a reliable indicator of the possible behavior of mechanical piece performance, since distortions on the surface can form a direct cause for cracks or corrosion. As a result, characterization of surface roughness is very important for zero-defect fabrication. This paper investigates the 2D roughness parameters of a 42CrMo4 steel surface before and after nitrocarburizing treatment. The latter was accomplished at 580 °C for 10 hours in a salt bath containing sodium cyanates and potassium carbonates. A surface profilometer was used to analyze the influence of nitrocarburizing treatment on the material's surface roughness parameters behavior. The parameters that comprehensively describes the surface structure, namely the amplitude, spacing, hybrid parameters, and material ratio parameters were highlighted. The results of the experiments indicated that the nitrocarburizing treatment was effective in increasing almost all the 2D roughness parameters of the 42CrMo4 steel surface.
