The microstructure and properties of the low temperature composite chromized layer on H13 tool steel were investigated using metallography, X-ray diffraction, microanalysis, hardness and wear tests. It was found that this low temperature process was thermo-dynamically and kinetically possible, and the composite chromized layer on H13 steel, with a thickness of 3-6 μm, consisted of three sub-layers (bands), viz. the outer Cr-rich one, the intermediate (black) one, and the inner, original white layer. After chromizing, the former diffusion layer was thickened. The results of X-ray diffraction showed that the composite chromized layer contained such nitrides and carbides of chromium as CrN, Cr2N, (Cr, Fe)23C6, and (Cr, Fe)7C3, as well as plain α-(Fe, Cr). A high surface microhardness of 1450-1550 HV0.025, which is much higher than that obtained by the conventional ion carbonitriding and ion nitriding, was obtained. In addition, an excellent wear resistance was gained on the composite chromized layer.展开更多

CrN layer with a thin diffusion layer underneath was formed. The duplex chromizing process was studied by optical microscopy （OM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. It was found that the chromizing speed at 500℃ was successfully enhanced by adding more Cr-Fe powders into the salt bath, and the CrN layer formed at the cost of the prior nitride compound layer. A CrN layer with average 8.1/~m in thickness and 1382 HV0.01 in microhardness was formed on the substrate by duplex chromizing at 500℃ for 24 h. Further more, the CrN layer consisted of nanocrystalline CrN grains.展开更多

The orthogonal array design （OAD）was applied to set the experiments. An artificial neural network （ANN） approach is employed to predict the thickness values of the obtained chromizing coatings based on the OAD tests results. The results revealed that the built model was reliable, the thickness values of chromizing coatings were well predicted at selected process parameters, and the predicted error lied in rational range.展开更多
