A COMPARISON OF THE FRICTION AND RECIPROCATING WEAR BEHAVIOR BETWEEN AN AUSTENITIC (X-2 CRNIMO-17-13-2) AND A FERRITIC (X-1 CRNIMONB-28-4-2) STAINLESS-STEEL AFTER NITROGEN ION-IMPLANTATION
Am. Kliauga et al., A COMPARISON OF THE FRICTION AND RECIPROCATING WEAR BEHAVIOR BETWEEN AN AUSTENITIC (X-2 CRNIMO-17-13-2) AND A FERRITIC (X-1 CRNIMONB-28-4-2) STAINLESS-STEEL AFTER NITROGEN ION-IMPLANTATION, Surface & coatings technology, 102(3), 1998, pp. 237-244
An austenitic stainless steel containing 17% Cr and 12% Ni and a ferri
tic stainless steel containing 28% Cr and 3% Ni were implanted with ni
trogen at 60 and 100 keV and implantation doses of 1 x 10(17), 4 x 10(
17) and 1 x 10(18) N+ cm(-2). The nature of microstructural transforma
tions was investigated, and two hardening mechanisms were identified:
solid solution hardening in austenite and precipitation hardening in f
errite. The wear behaviour of the samples nitrided at 100 keV and 4 x
10(17) N+ cm(-2) under cyclic sliding motion was explained in correlat
ion with their surface microstructure. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier
