In the present research 304 austenitic stainless steels were nitrided using hollow cathode discharge-assisted plasma and the effect of potential conditions on the nitriding kinetics was evaluated. The results indicate that nitriding kinetics is significantly promoted in cathode potential. CrN in the anode specimen is more difficult to form than those in the floating and cathode specimens and the temperature affects the modified layers seriously.
