Hardening of HVOF-Sprayed Austenitic Stainless-Steel Coatings by Gas Nitriding

Austenitic stainless steel exhibits an excellent corrosion behavior. The relatively poor wear resistance can be improved by surface hardening, whereby thermochemical processes offer an economic option. The successful diffusion enrichment of bulk material requires a decomposition of the passive layer...
