In this study AISI 1045 steel specimens were plasma nitrided at 803 K for 5 h, in a gas mixture of 75% N2 + 25% H2. The specimens were then chromized in powder mixtures consisting of ferrochromium, ammonium chloride and alumina at 1273 K for 5 h. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Vickers micro-hardness test were used as characterizing techniques. The thickness of white nitrided layer was around 5 μm, which was mainly composed of iron nitrides and its hardness was around 740 HV. Chromizing of nitride layer resulted in formation of Cr2N chromium nitride and Fe3N iron nitrides. A significant increase was observed in hardness after chromizing of the nitrided layer. Despite its higher hardness, the post chromised specimen showed higher wear rate than single plasma nitrided specimen.
