Abstract:Glow discharge nitriding is widely used to improve the mechanical characteristics of steel components. This treatment produces a modified surface layer, consisting of an outer compound zone and an inner diffusion zone. The compound zone (white layer) is the first zone and therefore, is the contact surface layer. It is of particular interest for establishing the exploitation features of engineering components exposed to the wear and corrosion. It is important to analyse the mechanical and tribological features … 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.
