摘要
The combined effect of superficial nanoaystallisation by SMAT (Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment) followed by plasma nitriding on the mechanical properties of a medical grade austenitic stainless steel was studied. SMAT conditions were optimised to enhance nitrogen diffusion. Experimental observations (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy profiles, cross-sectional optical micrographs, phase analysis by X-ray diffraction and micro-hardness profiles) show that polishing away a very thin layer after SMAT and before nitriding significantly improves nitrogen diffusion into the substrate, yielding a 50% thicker nitrided layer. Possible causes for this improvement are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
