Effect of plasma nitriding temperature on tribological performance and surface integrity of AISI 1045 steel
AISI 1045 steel is widely used in mechanical components subjected to wear, where surface performance is critical for service life. This study investigates the effect of plasma nitriding temperature on the tribological behavior and surface integrity of AISI 1045 steel. Samples were nitrided at 400°C and 450°C and char...
