The duplex treatment consisted of a plasma nitriding at 470 °C for 4 h and subsequent coating with TiN layer was applied on AISI 304L stainless steel. The article is concerned to a study of the chemical composition and mechanical properties of duplex system. GDOES method, laser confocal microscopy, nanohardness and indentation test were employed to characterize the chemical composition, depth profiles, surface morphology, hardness, adhesion. The results show that the duplex surface system possesses a desirable combination of properties especially hardness. Adhesion of PVD coating was increased on nitrided surface.

AISI 304L austenite stainless steel was irradiated by a high-current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) source in different process. The microstructures were investigated in detail by electron microscopy. The changes of hardness and corrosion resistance induced by irradiation were also tested. The relationship between corrosion resistance and the microstructures has been explored. The experimental results demonstrate the potential of proper HCPEB processing for improving the hardness and corrosion resistance of metallic materials.
