Improvement of the Tribological Characteristics of AISI 8620, 8640 and 52100 Steels through Thermo-Reactive Treatments
The production of vanadium and niobium carbides (VC and NbC) layers on AISI 8620, 8640, and 52100 steels may increase hardness and wear resistance of substrates. Thermochemical treatments were performed at 1000 °C for 2 and 4 h. The characterization of the treated samples was carried out by...
