Abstract

\A286\ (AISI 660), an austenitic precipitation hardening stainless steel has good strength and corrosion resistance, but its low hardness restricts their use in applications involving abrasive wear. In order to improve the hardness without loss of corrosion resistance properties of \A286\ stainless steel, plasma nitrocarburizing process was carried out at temperatures ranging from 350
