Nitriding of sintered stainless steel

Objective

The project concerns the investigation of nitrided layer on the sintered samples made of stainless steels. Chemical-heat treatment of the samples will be made according to the original nitriding method with activating pre-treatment via cathode sputtering. The subject of the transfer will be the knowledge and experience in this nitriding technology. This modern technology was elaborated in Institute of Materials Engineering of TUS (Patent no 181175PL) and makes it possible: - to obtain layers with the planned structure, - to shorten the treatment time, - to lower the gases consumption and - to treat materials which are usually difficult to treat in nitriding process (e.g. stainless steel). This innovative connection of these two technologies (new nitriding method and sintering powder technology) will lead to obtain the important effect: low-cost and environmental friendly production of elements with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance which could be used among other in food, aircraft, automotive and chemical industry . Moreover the following knowledge will be exchanged between the both Institutions in the project: - experience and knowledge in the preparation and investigation of the sintered materials and in the practical using such modern research method as Kikuchy line techniques and Atomic Force Microscopy, - experience and knowledge in the preparation and investigation of the surface after nitriding and ion treatment.
