Abstract: Austenitic stainless steel 316L was ion nitrided by glow plasma penetration and diffusion technique at different temperatures, subsequently, CrN coating was deposited on top of the nitrided layer by physical vapor deposition technology. The adhesion strength, hardness, tribological property and corrosion resistance of the duplex coating were tested. The microstructure and phase constituents were also examined. It has been found that, with the increase of temperature, the microconstituent of the duplex coating gained by plasma nitriding at different temperatures and PVD transfers from S-phase (inner layer)+CrN coating (outer layer) to hard phase precipitated layer of different degree (inner layer)+CrN coa-ting (outer layer). The adhesion strength of different kinds of nitrided layer with CrN coating was good. After PVD treatment, the surface hardness, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance of nitrided layer was improved to some extent whether it was S-phase or hard phase precipitated layer. With the increase of nitriding temperature, the corrosion resistance deteriorated, the hardness and abrasion resistance were elevated.
