| Abstract: | Precipitate free carbon S-phase was produced on the surface of AISI 316LVM medical grade austenitic stainless steel with the use of low temperature direct current and active screen plasma carburising. The treated and untreated alloy was characterised and tested for pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. From this work it can be concluded that when compared to the untreated material, both treatments augment the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. Using an active screen set-up results in a better surface composition and a higher crevice corrosion resistance than that produced using the direct current plasma carburising treatment. |
| Description: | The research was funded by the University of Malta Research Fund Committee for the financial support and ERDF (Malta) for the financing of the testing equipment through the project: ‘‘Developing an Interdisciplinary Material Testing and Rapid Prototyping R&D Facility (Ref. No. 012)’’ and ‘‘ Strengthening of Analytical Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering and Electromagnetics RTDI Facilities (Ref. No. 018)’’. |
