Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a stainless steel, which after nitriding exhibits a hardened surface layer with a hardness of at least 1200 Hv.
- Such stainless steel is particularly useful, for example, in applications with high demands on a combination of high strength and/or toughness and wear resistance and as a substrate for coating.
- Stainless steel alloys are relatively less hard than other steel materials.
- the stainless steel article or part is provided with a hardened surface, often referred to as case hardening.
- case hardening is to transform a relatively thin layer of material at the surface of the part by enrichment of carbon or other ingredients to make the surface harder than the matrix of the alloy. The steel thus retains in bulk the desired formality of stainless steel without the softness of the matrix at the modified steel surface.
- Stainless steels are often casehardened by carburization.
- Carburization is a process by which carbon atoms are diffused in solution into the surface of the article.
- Known case hardening processes are performed at high temperatures.
- carburization processes performed at temperatures greater than about 540° C. can promote the formation of carbides in the hardened surface.
- Plasma nitriding is an alternative case-hardening process.
- Plasma nitriding is carried out in a glow discharge in a nitrogen gas-containing mixture at a pressure of 100 to 1000 Pa (1 to 10 mbar). This method treats stainless steel surfaces, resulting in a nitrogen diffusion layer having high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Nitriding hardening is induced by the precipitation of nitrides in the surface layer.
- Plasma nitriding is a recently developed surface hardening procedure.
- the process can replace traditional nitriding methods, such as gas nitriding and nitrocarburation (short-term gas nitriding, bath nitriding and tenifer treatment) as similar thermo-chemical conditions can be established in this process.
- Plasma nitriding achieves higher hardness and wear resistance, while creating lower distortion.
- Plasma nitriding is very cost effective. This is due to the fact that subsequent machining, finishing and residue-removal processes are frequently not required. Similarly, supplementary protective measures, such as burnishing, phosphatizing, etc., under some conditions even galvanizing and hard-chrome plating, may not be necessary.
- Plasma nitriding is performed in a vacuum furnace. Treatment temperatures in the range of 400 to 580° C. are employed subject to the requirements of the process at hand. Typical treatment temperatures are in the range of 420 to 500° C. Commonly used process gases are ammonia, nitrogen, methane, and hydrogen. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are used in the corrosion protective step of post-oxidation. Aside from the type of process gas used, pressure, temperature, and time are the main parameters of the treatment process. By varying these parameters, the plasma nitriding process can be fine tuned to achieve the exact desired properties in any treated component.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,632,826 discloses a precipitation hardened martensitic alloy in which the strengthening is based on the precipitation of particles.

This strengthening involves an increase in tensile strength of at least 200 MPa. It has now surprisingly been found that if steel according to U.S. Pat.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a §371 National Stage Application of PCT International Application No. PCT/SE2003/001159 filed Jul. 2, 2003, which International Application was published by the International Bureau in English on Jan. 15, 2004, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This application also claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 and/or §365 to Swedish Application No. 0202107-9, filed Jul. 3, 2002, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a stainless steel, which after nitriding exhibits a hardened surface layer with a hardness of at least 1200 Hv. Such stainless steel is particularly useful, for example, in applications with high demands on a combination of high strength and/or toughness and wear resistance and as a substrate for coating.
- In the discussion of the state of the art that follows, reference is made to certain structures and/or methods. However, the following references should not be construed as an admission that these structures and/or methods constitute prior art. Applicant expressly reserves the right to demonstrate that such structures and/or methods do not qualify as prior art against the present invention.
- Stainless steel alloys are relatively less hard than other steel materials. As a result, in many applications the stainless steel article or part is provided with a hardened surface, often referred to as case hardening. The concept of case hardening is to transform a relatively thin layer of material at the surface of the part by enrichment of carbon or other ingredients to make the surface harder than the matrix of the alloy. The steel thus retains in bulk the desired formality of stainless steel without the softness of the matrix at the modified steel surface.
- Stainless steels are often casehardened by carburization. Carburization is a process by which carbon atoms are diffused in solution into the surface of the article. Known case hardening processes are performed at high temperatures. However, carburization processes performed at temperatures greater than about 540° C. (for stainless steel alloys) can promote the formation of carbides in the hardened surface.
- Plasma nitriding is an alternative case-hardening process. Plasma nitriding is carried out in a glow discharge in a nitrogen gas-containing mixture at a pressure of 100 to 1000 Pa (1 to 10 mbar). This method treats stainless steel surfaces, resulting in a nitrogen diffusion layer having high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Nitriding hardening is induced by the precipitation of nitrides in the surface layer.
- Plasma nitriding is a recently developed surface hardening procedure. The process can replace traditional nitriding methods, such as gas nitriding and nitrocarburation (short-term gas nitriding, bath nitriding and tenifer treatment) as similar thermo-chemical conditions can be established in this process. Plasma nitriding achieves higher hardness and wear resistance, while creating lower distortion.
- Plasma nitriding is very cost effective. This is due to the fact that subsequent machining, finishing and residue-removal processes are frequently not required. Similarly, supplementary protective measures, such as burnishing, phosphatizing, etc., under some conditions even galvanizing and hard-chrome plating, may not be necessary.
- Plasma nitriding is performed in a vacuum furnace. Treatment temperatures in the range of 400 to 580° C. are employed subject to the requirements of the process at hand. Typical treatment temperatures are in the range of 420 to 500° C. Commonly used process gases are ammonia, nitrogen, methane, and hydrogen. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are used in the corrosion protective step of post-oxidation. Aside from the type of process gas used, pressure, temperature, and time are the main parameters of the treatment process. By varying these parameters, the plasma nitriding process can be fine tuned to achieve the exact desired properties in any treated component.
- Any iron-based material can be subjected to plasma nitriding. The process does not require the use of special types of nitriding steel. The results achieved through plasma nitriding can be accurately reproduced. This is especially important in the manufacture of serial products. U.S. Pat. No. 5,632,826 discloses a precipitation hardened martensitic alloy in which the strengthening is based on the precipitation of particles. The strengthening particles have a quasicrystalline structure, said structure being essentially obtained at aging times up to 1000 h and tempering treatments up to 650° C. This strengthening involves an increase in tensile strength of at least 200 MPa. It has now surprisingly been found that if steel according to U.S. Pat. No. 5,632,826 is nitrided on the surface, an unexpected further increase in surface hardness is obtained compared to the matrix of said stainless steel.
