Austenitic stainless steels have been treated thermochemically in gaseous environments of ammonia, methane or a mixture of ammonia-methane in fluidised bed furnace at temperature 450°C for 8 h time period. The purpose of this investigation is to enhance the mechanical properties, especially the har...
