AISI 1090 steel was pulse plasma treated (PPT) using a Molybdenum electrode. Two different pulse numbers were chosen to obtain modified layers of 20{+-}5 {mu}m thickness. The dry sliding wear studies performed on this steel with and without PPT against an alumina ball counterpart showed that the PPT improved the wear resistance. The pulse number of the PPT modified layer was found to be highly influential in imparting the wear resistance to this steel, due to enhancement of surface hardness depending on treatment time.
