摘要
The major drive for the application of plasma science in nitrocarburising of engineering steels lies in the environmental and technical benefits derived from the use of plasma. However, the application of the environmentally harmless plasma nitrocarburising technology in industry has been hindered by the difficulties involved in the production of a favourable monophased epsilon-Fe2-3(N,C) compound layer. Rigorous research has been conducted in this connection during the past decade, such that a monophased epsilon compound layer with much enhanced mechanical and chemical properties can now be produced by properly controlling various plasma processing parameters. The present paper highlights the environmental and technical drive behind the recent developments in this area, concerning mainly ferritic plasma nitrocarburising, post oxidation and austenitic plasma nitrocarburising treatments.
