Highlights
IntroductionStrength and wear resistance of the cutting tools, various methods for chemical-thermal treatment (namely, the nitriding) are widely used
Performance of cutting tools is largely determined by the surface layer [1]
In connection with the above, the purpose of this paper is to study changes in the structural and phase states and the microhardness of the R6M5 steel surface layer at the electrolytic-plasma nitriding
Summary
Strength and wear resistance of the cutting tools, various methods for chemical-thermal treatment (namely, the nitriding) are widely used. One of the promising methods for plasma nitriding, which allows to significantly reduce the overall processing time, as well as significantly increase the hardness and wear resistance of steels, is electrolytic-plasma nitriding [6,7]. When electrolytic-plasma nitriding, significant changes in structural and phase states are undergoing, and changes of the material properties in thin surface layers due to physical effects of low-temperature plasma ions and electric discharge. Developing restructuring processes, structural and phase transformations occur in conditions, far from thermodynamic equilibrium states, and they let you receive the modified surface layers with a unique set of physical and mechanical properties [8]
