摘要
Different iron-chromium alloys (4, 8, 13 and 20 wt.%Cr) were nitrided in a NH3/H-2 gas mixture at 580 degrees C for various times. The nitrided microstructure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, light microscopy and hardness measurements. Composition depth profiles of the nitrided zone were determined by electron-probe microanalysis. Residual stress-depth profiles of the nitrided specimens were measured using the (X-ray) diffraction sin(2)psi method in combination with cumulative sublayer removals and correction for corresponding stress relaxations. Unusual, nonmonotonous changes of stress with depth could be related to the microstructure of the nitrided zone. A model description of the evolution of the residual stress as function of depth and nitriding time was given. (C) 2007 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
