Plasma nitriding, gas nitriding and solid nitriding were applied in tool steels (AISI H13, AISI P20 and N-8550). The acquired properties were compared and evaluated on these three processes with the aim to verify the solid nitriding performance. In order to promote the solid nitriding, the samples were surrounded by a solid compound with the Fe4KCN stoichiometric formula, inside an aluminum recipient. All thermochemical nitriding processes were performed at 560 °C. The wear behavior has been assessed by dry sliding wear test, using a pin-on-disk apparatus, the amount of wear was obtained by the use of a profilometer. The wear tracks were analyzed using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). After the wear test the samples were transversally cut, to obtain the Vickers microhardness. Solid nitriding presented good performance, formation of a nitriding layer, values of microhardness compatible with the other processes and the best results of wear.
