Article Description

In order to enhance the efficiency and performances of nitriding layer, aluminum was primarily introduced in the furnace during plasma nitriding by adding some FeAl around the samples. The results show that the process efficiency is dramatically enhanced more than 5 times comparing with traditional plasma nitriding (PN), with the effective hardening layer increasing from 224 μm to 1246 μm at 520 ℃/4h. Meanwhile, ultra-high surface hardness and excellent wear behaviors are obtained by Al-PN due to the formation of dispersed strengthening phases of AlN and Fe x Al in the nitriding layer, with the surface hardness increasing from 755 HV 0.025 to 1251 HV 0.025, and the wear rate decreased by a factor of approximately 2.
