The effect of modes of ion-beam nitriding on the structure, microhardness, wear resistance, and magnetic properties of diffusion layer on typical austenitic stainless steel 12Kh18N10T is studied. Optimum modes of ion-beam nitriding ensuring maximum microhardness and wear resistance of the irradiated surface are determined. The nitriding temperature, the microhardness of the surface, and the signals of the overlaid magnetic and electromagnetic transducers are shown to be related. The dependences obtained are explained and recommendations are given on their use for the nondestructive check of parameters of the nitrided layer.
