Abstract

AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel has great corrosion resistance,but it lacks in hardness,strength and wear resistance.So in order to improve these various hardening techniques are followed.In the present research salt bath nitriding and gas nitriding were carried out to improve hardness and wear resistance.Three samples are treated with salt bath nitriding and the other three samples are treated by gas nitriding and the one sample is kept aside to compare the results.The samples were wear tested on pin on disc apparatus after the heat treatment.Then the samples are subjected to Scanning electron microscope test and then the results were compared
