Abstract
In this work the effect of ionitriding treatment on wear resistance of ferrous materials was studied. A basic understanding of the ionitriding concepts were given and the advantages of this process over other conventional nitriding treatments were outlined. The effect of various parameters like gas composition, temperature, pressure, process duration and power density on the metallurgical aspects of this process were discussed. Under technical aspects of this technology, advantages of pulsed direct current over conventional direct current nitriding systems were given. In this work wear tests were performed on components made from gray cast iron, alloy steel (AISI 4340), and stainless steel 304. All these components showed improved wear resistance by ionitriding process.
