摘要
Martensitic AISI420 stainless steel was plasma nitrided using a DC N2-Hz pulsed discharge, after thermal treatment at two different tempering temperatures. Sliding wear behavior was determined by means of a ball-on-disk tribometer at room temperature and without lubrication. Wear volume was calculated from the information provided by an optical profilometer and wear scars were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results indicated that the nitrided samples exhibited improved wear resistance when compared to the untreated specimens, but corrosion resistance was diminished due to the presence of the outer nitrided layer. However, when this layer was removed mechanically considerable improvement in the corrosion resistance was achieved without impairing the wear resistance of the whole system, which was 200 % higher compared to the wear resistance of the non-nitrided specimens.
