Abstract: Low-carbon steel has been widely used in various
industrial applications and undergoes different surface treatments in
contemporary practices to enhance wear resistance, corrosion resistance
and hardness. Wear is a primary cause of damage to machine components
under varying conditions like temperature, humidity, load and speed.
This study focuses on improving wear resistance through coating
applications. A reciprocal tribological test was conducted under a 30 N
load with a 57.5 m sliding distance at 2500 cycles and 20 mm/s sliding
speed. Two coatings, AISI 316L austenitic and AISI 420 martensitic
stainless steel were applied using the HVOF method and subjected to
plasma nitriding at 450 and 500 °C. Tests verified that the HVOF sprayed
AISI 316L stainless steel coating nitrided at 450 °C offers the best
wear resistance.
Keywords: high velocity oxygen fuel, low-carbon steel, plasma nitriding, stainless steel, wear rate.
