摘 要:<正>In this work,the effect of nitriding current density on hardness,crystalline phase composition,layer thickness and corrosion rate of AISI 4340 steel has been studied.X-ray diffraction analysis shows that thin layers formed during nitriding process are constituted of y-Fe4N for samples processed between 1 and 2.5 mA/cm2. Thickness of nitrided layer increases proportionally to current density(0μm for 0.5 mA/cm2 to 1 5μm for 2.5 mA/cm2).Plasma nitriding increased the surface hardness from 300 HV50g for untreated sample,to around 800HV50g for nitrided samples at 1 mA/cm2.While the untreated samples exhibited a corrosion rate of 0.153 mm per year,the corrosion performance was improved up to 0.03 mm per year at current densities above 1 mA/cm2,which is about one fifth of the corrosion rate of the untreated sample.
