Limitations of surface treatments can be apparent under the complex loading experienced by engineering parts and components. These limitations can be removed by using duplex techniques. The process combination of thermal spraying and nitriding makes it possible to produce coatings with increased resistance for applications involving complex stress and loading conditions. The interactions between thermal spraying and nitriding have been investigated and both processes optimised to achieve improved properties of the compound coatings. Metallographic, X-ray, wear, and corrosion test results for the compound coatings are presented.
