Conclusion
The ion nitriding schedule developed for austenitic steel articles makes it possible to reduce the duration of the process by more than a factor of five, the layer thickness increases by a factor of three, and wear resistance of the layer increases by a factor of two compared with similar parameters after normal nitriding. In addition, there is a reduction in labor content, and production and the ecological situation are improved.
