Wear conclusions
• The wear resistance of carbon expanded austenite is 2 orders of magnitude higher than AISI 316 UT
• The layer of carbon expanded austenite reduces the subsurface deformation and supports the protective oxide layer
• The wear mechanism changes from adhesive wear in AISI 316 UT to oxidational wear in AISI 316 PC

Corrosion conclusions
• Carbon expanded austenite exhibits higher corrosion resistance to boiling sulphuric acid than AISI 316 UT
• The AS treated samples performed better than the DC ones through the elimination of edge effects
• The corrosion mechanisms are defect-controlled (MnS inclusions, slip bands and grain boundaries)

Benefits of AS treatmentDC – edge effect DC – arcing damage AS – feature less
AS –rusty components before ASPN AS – rusty components after ASPN

Active Screen conclusions
• AS plasma treatments can produce superior surface quality than DC treatments (no edge effect or arcing damage)
• AS plasma shows potential to further improve the results obtained with DC or other plasma treatments
• AS treatments are less sensitive to the surface condition of components (rust, oil, etc.)
