Abstract

It is known that in order to obtain a high-hardness, wear- and corrosion-resistant article a nitrided layer of nitride ε(ε+γ′)-phases should be formed on its surface. However, in some cases, for example, in nitriding high-speed die steels and steel 38Kh2MYuA, the formation of brittle nitride surface layers should be eliminated and only a zone of internal nitriding (a+ γ′ + MN) should be formed in order to provide the requisite hardness and wear resistance. The article concerns preparation of nitrided layers with different compositions on the widely used 38Kh2MYuA nitralloy.
