Abstract
This study investigated residual stress evaluations during gaseous nitriding of 50CrMo4 and 31CrMoV9 steels. The nitriding processes were carried out in the NH3/H2/N2 atmosphere at 525 °C for 2 h by controlling the nitriding potential. The development of depth-dependent residual stresses was conducted using a Vickers indentation instrument with an estimated geometric correction. The obtained results correlated with the sublayer removal-assisted XRD sin2ψ method. Diffusion layers between 135 and 200 μm were obtained for all samples upon nitriding. The surface hardness values reached 475 HV for 50CrMo4 and 825 HV for 31CrMoV9 steels. The geometric correction factor α was calculated as 78° for a Vickers indenter to measure residual stresses. The generated compressive residual stresses by nitriding increased with increasing nitriding potential by 71% (from −350 to −600 MPa) and 13% (from −750 to −850 MPa) for 50CrMo4 and 31CrMoV9 steels, respectively. An approximately linear relationship was obtained between the hardness and residual stress profiles of the nitrided samples.
