Abstract

AISI 253MA Stainless steel samples were treat with the gas nitrating process at low heat around 450°C. It was seen that all-inclusive austenite stage exist when it is nitrade to 8 hours and post addition at time of nitrading to 16 hours the mix of ferrites and progressively substance of nitrogen was gathered in the following layers. Farther nitrading to 24 hour it has seen at Cr-N stage was discovered and turns the steel progressively firmer superficially. Erode tests were led by tribological wear testing machine to examine the tribological wear loss. Volume wear was found to be least in 18 hours test which demonstrated better improvement of wear improvement. High hardness were found in 24 hrs showing a hardness of 1080Hv. The sample nitrided to 24 hours exhibited better wear resistance, high hardness and low wear loss as well as low volume wear loss. Assessment examinations of nitrided test samples were investigated under scanning electron magnifying analysis.

Highlights

  • AISI 253MA Austenitic stainless steels, known for its remarkable resistance to corrosion that has created expanded exposure in various applications

  • Whereas gas nitrading is straightforward and stable procedure requires low support costs, charge of fuel in the heater is faster than different procedures

  • 2.1 Wear Tests The elemental compositions of AISI 253 MA Stainless steel was found to be with a maximum range of carbon 0.1%, 0.81% manganese 0.03% sulphur, 0.04% phosphorus, 1.8% silicon, 12% nickel, 22% chromium and the remaining composition of iron

Summary

Introduction

AISI 253MA Austenitic stainless steels, known for its remarkable resistance to corrosion that has created expanded exposure in various applications. Be that as it may, their terrible tribological and mechanical properties were found to be very low, their applications are very limited[1,2,3]. AISI 253MA material has been once in a while used material inorder to know its properties and the conduct of this steel it is treated under the low temperature i.e., at 4500C [8,9,10]. It is important to know the utilization of stainless steel in building applications, their properties, their capabilities regarding corrosion resistance, the availability of product forms and surface finish. Stainless steels have sufficient amount of chromium present, so that a passive film of chromium oxide forms which prevents further corrosion [20]
