Low-Temperature Carburization: Ex Situ Activation of Austenitic Stainless Steel
Surface engineering of chromium-oxide-passivated alloys (e.g., stainless steels) by low-temperature infusion of interstitial solutes (carbon, nitrogen) from a gas phase requires “surface activation” by removing or perforating the passivating oxide film. We demonstrate a new approach for surface acti...
