Properties of Oxynitride Steel Coatings Obtained Through Three-Stage Processes of Nitriding Combined with Oxidation

The article discusses the effect of preliminary oxidation on the properties of 38Cr2MoAl nitrided steel. A three-stage process consisting of pre-oxidation, nitriding, and subsequent vapor oxidation is described. The advantage of three-stage processes over stepwise nitriding is demonstrated in terms...

Summary:The article discusses the effect of preliminary oxidation on the properties of 38Cr2MoAl nitrided steel. A three-stage process consisting of pre-oxidation, nitriding, and subsequent vapor oxidation is described. The advantage of three-stage processes over stepwise nitriding is demonstrated in terms of increased wear resistance of the oxynitride layer given different types of lubrication. In addition, oxynitrided steel is characterized by increased strength and ductility during bending tests, as well as higher corrosion resistance in salt spray tests as compared to non-nitrided and chrome-plated steel.
