Abstract
At the present time critical parts of various machines and equipment operating under conditions of wear under cyclic loads are often produced from low-alloy steel 38Kh2MYuA. Its operating properties are usually improved by surface strengthening by the method of nitriding. A wide range of nitrogen-saturating atmospheres has been developed for this purpose, with each diffusion medium characterized by special process properties. The present paper is an analysis of data on nitriding structural steel 38Kh2MYuA in gas, liquid, ionic, vacuum, and powder nitrogen-bearing media. Recommendations are given for practical use of nitriding of the studied steel so as to obtain the requisite operating properties.
