N2 - The present contribution showcases the possibility
for developing new surface hardenable stainless
steels containing strong nitride/carbide forming elements
(SNCFE). Nitriding of the commercial alloys, austenitic
A286, and ferritic AISI 409 illustrates the beneficial effect
of having SNCFE present in the stainless steel alloys. The
presented computational approach for alloy design enables
“screening” of hundreds of thousands hypothetical
alloy systems by use of Thermo-Calc. Promising compositions
for new stainless steel alloys can be selected
based on imposed criteria, i.e. facilitating easy selection
of candidate alloys designed for low temperature surface
hardening.
