The effect of different kinds of quenching, i.e., laser, vacuum, and induction ones, on the mechanical properties and wear and corrosion resistances of stainless steel AISI 420 is studied. It is shown that all the three kinds of heat treatment raise considerably the wear resistance of the steel due to growth in the hardness. Laser and vacuum quenching also increases the corrosion resistance. After induction quenching the resistance to corrosion is lower than in untreated steel.

Notes
Post-discharge treatment involves surface engineering in a chamber spatially separated from the chamber of formation of high-frequency plasma discharge. In the volume where the treatment is conducted the charged particles are chiefly recombined to neutral ones (Ed. note).
