GSW0446 High functionalization of ferrous materials by solid nitriding using waste plastics

Abstract

This study has investigated the usefulness of waste plastics for nitriding of ferrous materials. Namely, after ferrous materials were heated in the waste melamine plastic powder and then cooled down, their surface and surface layers were analyzed. As a result, it was found that their nitriding took place regardless of their type. Therefore, this method can be used as a technique to improve the fatigue and wear resistance of machine's components.
