The Wear Characteristics of AISI310 Grade Stainless Steel Material by Carburizing and Carbonitriding Process

The wear conduct of AISI310 grade austenitic stainless steel is to be examined under a dry sliding contact at consistent load. It was found that carburising process will be successful in enhancing the wear conduct of stainless steel material, advancing the property of pliability. In carburising process maintenance at a constant temperature of 9200C in difference timing samples as named CB1, CB2, CB3 and similarly carbonitriding samples were treated to temperature of 8100C named as CN1, CN2 and CN3 at constant. Untreated stainless steel was utilized as a kind of perspective material and experienced wear test for comparison with different carburising samples. Small scale hardness estimations uncovered a critical increment in hardness after treatment. Wear tests are to be carried out by pin on disc testing machine. An untreated sample is used for comparison the results against the treated samples. The layers were portrayed by optical magnifying lens and scanning electron magnifying lens investigation.
