The surface modification is a suitable technology to increase the surface wear resistance of steels. In this way, the used substrate metal can be a low alloyed, cost-effective chemical composition steel. After the substrate metal heat treating, hardening and annealing, it needs surface modification.
It well knew some surface heat treating technologies, like carburizing, nitridation, nitrocarburizing, and surface quenching. The surface coating is also very useful technologies when by the chemical or physical process it built a new layer on the surface.
In this work, we compare different modification processes results made by the way of the traditional and new technologies advantages. The chemical composition and the structure determine the surface mechanically and wear resistance properties. The available chemical composition determines the surface modification technology [1-3].
It was prepared with different surface layers on the same substrate steel by a different process and inspected by different testing methods. On the base of the tests results needs to specification a new surface modification process for the high-level surface resistance layer.
The industry is imposing increasing wear and tear requirements on tools, which can no longer be satisfied with the development of base materials (tool steels). Surface treatment technologies can provide a solution as the surface of the working tool must be suitable. It can determine a relationship between the hardness, surface roughness and the abrasion resistance of various surface treatments and the coating technologies such as PVD as a result of tool steel surface layers. These relationships form the basis for tool selection and provide a theoretical basis for the design of surface technologies.
