Nitriding of AISI 1020 steel: comparison between conventional nitriding and nitriding with cathodic cage
Cylindrical samples of AISI 1020 steel were nitrided, using the techniques of conventional plasma nitriding and cathodic cage.In the latter, the samples are ill tempered gnome kept at floating potential, inside of a cage that works as a cathode and to shield the samples from the cathodic potential.A systematic study was conducted in order to evalua
