要約

Tests for plasma nitridingrailway wheels have been performed. The nitrided - metal outperforms the untreated metal in every way. Unusual structural components appear due to the saturation of steel with nitrogen in the process of plasma treatment. The smooth transitional zone ensures the strength of traction between the hardened zone and the bulk of metal.
