Research has been done mainly to investigate different nitriding processes in order to optimize parameters for the most appropriate procedure. The scope has been to improve mechanical and wear resistance without prejudice to the corrosion properties of the duplex and superduplex stainless steels. Our investigation also aimed to understand the effect of the nitriding layer on the precipitation of secondary phases after any heating stepapplication/pdfengcc-by (c) Tahchieva, Alisiya Biserova et al., 2019http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esAcer inoxidableMicroestructuraStainless steelMicrostructureinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6912372019-09-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
