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 microha...

Avinit duplex technologies have been developed, combining N plasma nitriding of finished high-precision parts with subsequent application superhard antifriction coatings in a single technological process Due to the absence brittle layer on nitrided surface after precision nitriding, preservation original geometric dimensions that do not require further mechanical refinement, and compatibility p...

Castings of aluminum and plastics are of high importance in the industrial world. They are usually made using permanent metallic moulds for pressure die-castings and injection molding. Die-tools are usually produced from chromium maraging hot work tool steel and are heat treated to hardness between 29 and 48 HRC, 1-3 . Die life is a mayor factor of a die-casting process and it strongly affects ...
