The high passivation capacity of austenitic stainless steels results in excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of corrosion media. However, the tribological properties of these steels are insufficient due to their low hardness and high susceptibility to adhesive wear. To improve the wear behavior of austenitic steels while maintaining corrosion resistance, thermochemical processes such...
