Mechanical and Physical Effect of Nitriding AISI 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel at Various High Temperatures and Different Gas Nitriding Methods
This work investigated the effect of high temperature gas nitriding on AISI 316L to its physical and mechanical properties. In order to modify the surface properties of this material, the samples were treated through gas nitriding at a high temperature of 900˚C hybrid treatment, 1000°C hybrid treatm...
