Abstract
Electrolytic Plasma Process (EPP) may generate localized high temperature on metal surface for partial melting and material removing. Due to the pulsed heating and pressure field, the metal surface could experience substantial phase change. Martensitic phase is found after EPP on SS-304. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate the formation and decay of martensite with increase of treatment time. The α'-martensite phase is usually formed by cold work or other thermal treatment like cryogenic induced martensite. Hardness test was applied on surface and cross section. A distribution of Martensite with different treatment time was presented as well. This study presents the potential of EPP in surface hardening and modification applications.
