In this study, low temperature plasma carburizing technology as one of the surface hardening techniques has been applied to improve the mechanical properties of 304 austenitic stainless steel. Several low temperature process parameters were studied to focus on the structure and properties of the carburized layer. The results shows that carburizing at 450°C, C3H8: H2 = 1: 40, carburizing time 10h could get a better white layer, a better wear resistance and a reasonable corrosion resistance, which proved to be the optimal hardening treatment.

In this study, in order to explore a suitable method to obtain a better wear resistance and corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel, low temperature plasma carburizing technology has been studied. Research on the properties of austenitic stainless steel under different carburizing atmosphere proportion, with hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance as the properties characterization. The results shows that C3H8:H2=1:40 have better properties with the hardness of 950 HV0.05, the friction coefficient of about 0.25, which showed a better wear resistance. And also the corrosion rate of about 20.3g/m2·h showed a better corrosion resistance.

The novel low temperature plasma alloying technique that simultaneously introduces both nitrogen and carbon into the surface of austenitic stainless steel has been used in the past to create a hybrid N-C S-Phase. This S-Phase layer boasts of high hardness and wear resistance without any detriment to corrosion resistance. In this study, the afore mentioned hybrid N-C S-Phase was successfully implemented in the surface of two medical grade austenitic stainless steels: ASTM F138 and F1586. At an optimum process temperature of 430°C a very hard, 20μm precipitate-free S-Phase layer was created. Anodic Polarization tests in Ringer’s solution showed that the corrosion resistance of this layer was similar to that of the untreated alloys. Both dry-wear and corrosion-wear (Ringer’s) behaviour of the surface treated alloys showed an improvement of more than 350% and 40% respectively when compared to the untreated material.

Plasma Carburizing

Plasma carburizing of AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel was carried out at low temperature to improve the surface hardness without degradation of its corrosion resistance. And the post-treatment, namely electrochemical surface brightening process was carried out to clear away a layer of thin black film on the plasma carburized samples and improve the surface quality of the hardened stainless steel. The surface appearance, roughness, microstructures, microhardness and corrosion resistance of the samples before and after brightening were analyzed and compared. Experimental results of plasma carburizing at low temperature showed that high-quality hardened layers can be produced at the appropriate process parameters.The electrochemical brightening process can be used as a post-treatment to restore the original color and further improve the corrosion resisitance of the plasma carburized stainless steel.

Plasma Carburizing

Plasma carburizing of AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel was carried out at low temperature to improve the surface hardness without degradation of its corrosion resistance. The microstructure, surface hardness, phase composition and corrosion property of the hardened layer were analyzed. The experimental results show that high-quality hardened layers can be produced at the carburizing temperatures between 673 K and 773 K, which have not only high surface hardness and wear resistance, but also good corrosion resistance. All of the hardened layers display a precipitation-free structure or Sc phase. The chromium carbides began to precipitate in the hardened layer as soon as the carburizing temperature is higher than 823 K. The precipitation of chromium carbides will lead to deterioration in corrosion resistance of the hardened stainless steel.
