The paper presents comparative results on orthodontic arch-wires AISI304 steel before and after low temperature plasma nitriding carried out at cathodic potential (conventional) and at plasma potential, i.e. in a process incorporating an active screen. Corrosion resistance test on nitrided layers produced on stainless steel were carried out via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the potentiodynamic method in non-deaerated artificial saliva solution at 37°C. The results were complemented with analysis of the structure, surface topography and microhardness. The results showed an increase in corrosion resistance of AISI304 steel after conventional glow-discharge nitriding.}, type={Article}, title={The Effect of Glow Discharge Nitriding on the Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel Orthodontic Arches in Artificial Saliva Solution}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115071/PDF/AMM-2020-1-47-Kaminski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.131740}, keywords={steel orthodontic arch-wires, artificial saliva, glow-discharge nitriding, corrosion resistance}, }
