우수한 기계적 강도 및 내식성을 가지고 있는 F51(Duplex Stainless Steel)에 저온 plasma Carburizing처리를 적용하여 온도 및 Ar농도에 따른 표면특성을 조사하였다. 플라즈마 처리된 시편은 표면에 탄소가 과포화된 S-phase 또는 Expanded austenite가 형성되어 미처리 시편에 비해 경도 및 내식성 모두 증가하였다.

AISI316L강의 내식성과 표면경도를 동시에 향상시키기 위한방법으로 저온 플라즈마 침탄과 저온 플라즈마 질화를 동일한 로 내에서 연속적으로 실시하였다. 여러 가지 공정인자 중 저온 플라즈마 질화 시 $N_2$가스가 표면에 미치는 영향을 조사 하였다. 모든 시편의 표면에 N에 의해 확장된 오스테나이트 (${\gamma}_N$)가 형성되었으며, 형성된 ${\gamma}_N$로 인하여 표면경도가 약 $3{\sim}4$배 증가하였다. $N_2$가스가 증가할수록 ${\gamma}_N$층의 두께가 증가 하였다.

스테인리스강을 침탄 또는 질화처리 하면 내식성이 크게 떨어진다. 하지만 처리 온도를 충분히 낮게 하면 내식성의 저하 없이 표면 경도를 증가시킬 수 있다. 침탄처리 후 질화 처리를 연속적으로 수행하면, 두꺼운 경화층을 가지고, 침탄처리한 표면보다 높은 경도를 가질 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 침탄처리 후 질화 처리시, Ar을 주입하여 질화층 형성에 주는 영향을 조사 하였다. Ar의 양이 20%보다 낮은 경우 석출물이 거의 형성되지 않았으며, Ar의 양이 증가할수록 표면경도도 증가하였다.

In order to improve the low wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, plasma carburization treatment was newly carried out without consumption of its good specific strength and fatigue life over the temperature. Effect of the plasma carburization was analyzed and compared with the non-treated alloy by microstructural observation, structure characterization and mechanical property test. The plasma treated alloy formed a carburized layer of about 150$\mu\textrm{m}$ in depth from the surface, where a fine and hard particles of TiC and $V_4C_3$ were homogeneously dispersed through the layer. It was also found that an increase of the wear resistance, fatigue life and hardness, due to the hard and fine dispersoids.

Plasma ion nitriding has been widely used in various industries to improve the mechanical properties of materials, especially stainless steels by increasing the surface hardness. It has the particular advantages of less distortion compared to that in the case of hardening of steel, gas nitriding, and carburizing; in addition, it allows treatment at low-temperatures, and results in a high surface hardness and improved corrosion resistance. Many researchers have demonstrated that the plasma ion nitriding process should be carried out at temperatures of below $450^{\circ}C$ to improve corrosion resistance via the formation of the expanded austenite phase(S-phase). Most experimentals studied to date have been carried out in chloride solutions like HCl or NaCl. However, the electrochemical characteristics for the chloride solutions and natural seawater differ. Hence, in this work, plasma ion nitriding of 304 stainless steels was performed at various temperatures, and the electrochemical characteristics corresponding to the different process temperatures were analyzed for the samples in natural seawater. Finally the optimum plasma ion nitriding temperature that resulted in the highest corrosion resistance was determined.
