A Facile Nitriding Approach for Improved Impact Wear of Martensitic Cold-Work Steel Using H<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> Mixture Gas in an AC Pulsed Atmospheric Plasma Jet

In this study, we propose a rapid plasma-assisted nitriding process using H<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>2</sub> mixture gas in an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) system to treat the surface of SKD11 cold-working steel in order to increase its surface hardness. The generated NH r...
