Effect of Process Parameters on Plasma Nitriding Properties of Composites
This study was to analyse the relationship between process parameters of the sintered composite and plasma nitriding properties with pulsed DC plasma. Fe-40at% composites of full density were fabricated by hot pressing at 1100~. Sintered Fe-40at%Al and Fe-40at% alloys were nitrided under pulsed DC plasma. Excellent surface hardness in the FeAl alloys could be obtained by plasma nitriding. ( :100gf, diffusion layer : 1100~, matrix : 330~) The wear resistance of composites were improved about by 4~6times than FeAl and nitrided were improved about 2 times than matrix.
