Nitriding HS6-5-2 Steel in Inductively Coupled Plasma

This article presents research on the possibility of obtaining a hardened surface layer via nitriding in coupled plasma (ICP) for HS6-5-2 steel. The subject investigation was influence process parameters properties obtained layers. layers were characterized using an optical microscope, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), and microhardness tester. generator power changed gradually from 500 W to 2 kW tests carried out various durations, 15 45 minutes at set pressure. results show nitrided with thickness up 0.1 mm significant increase hardness very short time.
