“…When the halide powder combines with the metal powder, evaporable metal compounds are formed, which dissolve when they come into touch with the ferrous substrate [ 37 ]. Naeem et al [ 38 ] reported a comparison of surface hardness, wear, and corrosion behavior between the CCPN-, PVD-TiN-, and duplex-treated coupons. In this report, maximum surface hardness with better wear results has been obtained.…”

In contrast to austenitic and martensitic stainless steels, ferritic stainless steels have a lower hardness and wear resistance but exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. Due to this fact, their use in the aerospace, automobile, and house construction industries is restricted. Several methods have been utilized to enhance the tribological characteristics of ferritic stainless steels. In this work, titanium nitride coating has been carried out by using a cathodic cage of titanium material, and later on, the titanium cathodic cage is replaced by an AISI-304 cathodic cage in a CCPN chamber to form iron nitride coating on AISI-430 ferritic stainless steel coupons through a plasma nitriding process for 4 h at a fixed temperature of 400 °C. The microstructures and mechanical traits of all processed and control coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, ball-on-disc wear tester, and microhardness tester techniques. The results showed that hardness increased up to 1489 HV with the titanium cage, which is much higher than the hardness of the base material (270 HV). The titanium cage-treated coupons have high layer thickness, smooth surface morphology, and a minimum crystallite size of 2.2 nm. The wear rate was reduced up to 50% over the base material after the titanium cage plasma treatment. The base coupon exhibited severe abrasive wear, whereas nitrided coupons exhibited dominant adhesive wear. In the iron nitride coatings, this effect is also important, owing to the more influential cleaning process in a glow discharge, and the better adhesion with enhanced interlayer thickness is attributed to the fact that the compliance of the interlayer minimizes shear stresses at the coating–substrate interface. The use of a graded interface improves adhesion compared with the case where no interlayer is used but a titanium interlayer of comparable thickness provides a significant increase in measured adhesion. For both titanium and iron nitride films, there is a reduction in wear volume which is a function of interlayer thickness; this will have a substantial effect on wear lifetime. Thus by careful control of the interlayer thickness and composition, it should be possible to improve coating performance in tribological applications.

“…One such approach is based on a creation of hybrid surface treatment combining nitriding with onother surface technology. The most recent researches are focused on a creation of duplex coatings created by hard PVD or PACVD coatings in combination with diffusion layers such as nitride layers [7]. In this experiment a different surface technology such as LSP in combination with plasma nitriding was utilized.…”

The article deals with a possibilities of an enhancement of functional properties of highly stressed components by specific combination of surface technology. Two surface technologies such as plasma nitriding and laser shock peening were selected for the experiment. Those technologies were applied upon steel 42CrMo4 frequently utilized in manufacturing of strained components. Properties obtained by applied surface technologies were tested by following experimental methods. The chemical composition was verified by optical emission spectrometer Tasman Q4 Bruker. The surface morphology was inspected by scanning electron microscope TESCAN MIRA 4. The microstructure of heat treated as well as of nitrided specimens was observed by opto-digital microscope Olympus DSX500i. The microhardness profiles were measured by microhardness tester LM247 AT LECO. The friction coefficient was tested on tribometer Bruker UMT-3 TriboLab. For an assessment of the surface wearresistance the profilometer Talysurf CLI 1000 and Contour GT were utilized. The experimental results show that although the proposed surface technology combination manifests itself to be disadvantageous, both technology LSP, as well as plasma nitriding, applied separately, can lead to a significant wear reduction.Wear-resistance Plasma nitriding Laser shock peening Highly stressed components

“…In recent years, with the boom in laser additive manufacturing (AM) technology, laser cladding has become a leading technology because it can be employed to improve the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of metal parts [13][14][15]. Compared with the traditional surface strengthening technology, the coating fabricated by laser cladding has the advantages of a low dilution rate, good metallurgical bond performance, and controllable microstructure and mechanical properties [16,17].…”

The poor wear resistance of 316L stainless steel restricts further practical application. In this study, to improve its microhardness and wear resistance, the TiC and NbC ceramic particles were introduced to 316L powder fabricate (Ti, Nb)C ceramics-reinforced composite coatings by laser cladding. The effects of ceramics addition on the phase composition, microstructure, microhardness, and wear properties of the composite coating were investigated with an X-ray diffractometer, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, a Vickers hardness tester, and a multi-functional surface performance tester. Results indicate that the TiC and NbC ceramic particles were distributed at the grain boundaries, effectively inhibiting the grain growth and refining the microstructure. The addition of ceramic particles could have decreased the temperature gradient and promoted the transformation from columnar crystals to equiaxed crystals. In addition, the microhardness was improved due to fine grain strengthening and solid solution strengthening. The friction coefficient and cross-sectional area of the composite coating were 0.381 and 8164.732 μm2, which was 0.846 and 0.603 times that of the 316L coating, respectively. Moreover, severe adhesive wear and plastic deformation was transformed into slight adhesive wear and abrasive wear due to the addition of TiC and NbC particles. This study provides new approaches to improving the wear resistance of 316L stainless steel and broadens its application.
