Tribological Behavior of Nitrided Ductile Iron D6510 under Different Contacting Conditions

Two different nitriding techniques, named plasma nitriding and fluidized bed nitriding, were applied for surface modification of ductile cast iron NAAMS-D6510. Two test methods (i.e., Pin-on-disc tribotest and inclined sliding wear test) were used to generate different tribological contact-loading c...
