In this work an austenitic AISI 316L and a duplex AISI F51 (EN 1.4462) stainless steel were DC-Plasma carburized at 480ºC, using CH4 as carbon carrier gas. For the austenitic AISI 316L stainless steel, low temperature plasma carburizing induced a strong carbon supersaturation in the austenitic lattice and the formation of carbon expanded austenite (γC) without any precipitation of carbides. The hardness of the carburized AISI 316L steel reached a maximum of 1000 HV due to ∼13 at% carbon supersaturation and expansion of the FCC lattice. For the duplex stainless steel AISI F51, the austenitic grains transformed to carbon expanded austenite (γC), the ferritic grains transformed to carbon expanded ferrite (αC) and M23C6 type carbides precipitated in the nitrided case. Hardness of the carburized case of the F51 duplex steel reached 1600 HV due to the combined effects of austenite and ferrite lattice expansion with a fine and dispersed precipitation of M23C6 carbides.

Samples of duplex stainless steel SAF 2507 were low-temperature plasma nitrided to characterize separately, on the surface, the behavior of its ferrite and austenite phases in relation to two competing processes, that is, one caused by enrichment by nitrogen, resulting in possible expansion, and the other caused by the removal of superficial atoms via sputtering, which may lead to the retraction of the studied phases. Since these phases have different different compositions and crystalline structures, of which the diffusivity and solubility of nitrogen in them are dependent, a different response for each type of phase can be expected. In this article, an innovative methodology has been developed to quantify and clarify which effects are predominant in the course of nitriding for each of these phases. The results indicate that phase expansion prevails over sputtering.
