Abstract:Surface hardening of austenitic stainless steel without degradation of corrosion resistance has been a subject of continuing interest in the field of surface of engineering technology. In this paper, we elucidate a hardening mechanism, changing the amount of the molybdenum (Mo). Three austenitic stainless steel were used in the present work, AISI304 (0.21%‐Mo), AISI316 (2.34%‐Mo), and AISI317L (3.13%‐Mo). Samples were plasma carburized using a DC plasma apparatus under 667 Pa of mixed gas flow of 5%CH4 + 45%H2… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
