Mechanism and properties of plasma nitriding AISI 420 stainless …
The wear resistance of AISI 420 stainless steel was also improved evidently by plasma nitriding. These results showed that plasma nitriding AISI 420 stainless steel at anodic potential (ground 0 V) provides an alternative process to increase the surface hardness, wear resistance as well as the corrosion properties with no evident edge-effect.
