A review is presented on the effects of Nitriding of AISI 409 Ferritic Stainless Steel with a
composition of C-0.08%, Mn-1%, Si-1%, Cr-10.5–11.75%, Ni-0.5%, P-0.045%, S-0.045%, Ti …

Surface nanocrystallization by severe deformation has proven beneficial as pre-treatment to
plasma nitriding. It aids in achieving thicker nitride layers at lower temperatures thus making …

The effect of surface roughness, volume fraction of martensite and the tendency to form CrN
phase during plasma nitriding of AISI 304 stainless steel pretreated by surface mechanical …

The influence of severe plastic deformation induced by ultrasonic shot peening (USP) on
evolution of microstructure and the resulting properties of 316 austenitic stainless steel is …

In the present study, the effect of surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) on corrosion
