In order to clarify the effects of nitriding and hybrid surface modification process combining nitriding and induction hardening on fatigue properties of SCM435H steel, high cycle fatigue tests were carried out with a rotational bending machine at room temperature. Observations of fracture surfaces and measurement of hardness and residual stress distributions were carried out to investigate the fracture mechanism. It was revealed that hybrid surface modification process generated a compressive residual stress field and hardened even at center of the specimen. Fatigue strength of hybrid surface modified specimens was much higher than that of substrate and nitrided specimens. This was because a transition of fracture mode from internal to surface fracture; fatigue fracture of nitrided specimens occurred at inside of the hardened layer, in the case of hybrid surface modified specimens, however, fatigue crack initiated at the surface of the specimen with higher hardness and higher compressive residual stress.

In order to investigate the effect of plasma nitriding treatment on fatigue behavior of titanium alloys, very high cycle fatigue tests were carried out for Ti-6Al-4V alloy using an ultrasonic fatigue machine under load control conditions for stress ratios of R=-1 at frequency of ƒ=20KHz. Experiment results showed that plasma nitriding treatment played the principal role in the internal fatigue crack initiation. More importantly, plasma nitriding treatment had a detrimental effect on fatigue properties of the investigated Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the fatigue strength of material after plasma nitriding treatment appeared to be significantly reduced about 17% over the untreated material.

This chapter describes surface modification processes that go beyond conventional heat treatments, including plasma nitriding, plasma carburizing, low-pressure carburizing, ion implantation, physical and chemical vapor deposition, salt bath coating, and transformation hardening via high-energy laser and electron beams. The chapter compares methods and includes several example applications.
