| description | The article presents the results of the research on the nitriding process of 316L austenitic steel and the change in surface properties resulting from this process used in medicine, orthopedics, and in fuel cells. The processes were carried out with the following parameters: time from 5 to 17 h, temperature from 430 °C to 490 °C. The study presents the results of tests of the 316L austenitic steel substrate layer subjected to plasma nitriding of a direct current glow discharge, i.e., in the area isolated from both the cathode and the anode. Additionally, the influence of the active screen on the nitriding process in this area of the direct current discharge was studied. The following tests were carried out: nitrogen diffusion depth test, hardness test, wear resistance test, microstructure analysis, corrosion resistance, and distribution of the element concentration in the surface layer. The research allowed for the conclusion that each variant of nitriding contributed to a change in the examined properties, while the observed scale and nature of the changes were different. |
