In this study, the fracture behavior of AISI 4140 low-alloy steel nitrided with respect to applied current density was investigated. A series rotary bending fatigue tests were performed various loads (350, 400, 450, and 500 N) at a constant rotational speed 2000 rpm. The results show that increase in strength (up 35%) strongly depends on compound layer formed during nitriding process. addition,...
