Abstract

1. A method of hardening the surface of austenitic steel, which makes it possible to obtain a layer 0.4–0.7 mm thick with a hardness greater than 700 HV is developed. This method consists of diffusion saturation with carbon or carbon and nitrogen in accordance with a stepwise regime. Hardening of the layer is achieved primarily due to the segregation of special carbides during aging. 2. Steel 25Kh18N8V2 exhibits a higher ultimate rupture strength and resilience at 20–300°C, long-term strength, fatigue strength in bending, and wear resistance after diffusion-dispersion hardening than after nitriding. 3. After diffusion-dispersion hardening, steel 25Kh18N8V2 exhibits satisfactory corrosion resistance in a tropical chamber after grinding off a layer 0.1–0.15 mm thick.
