In order to develop the corrosion and wear resistance of stainless steels, effects of plasma-nitriding on the surface characteristics of stainless steels containing Nb were investigated by utilizing a potentiostat. It was found that plasma nitriding at $350^{circ}C$, compared with $500^{circ}C$, produced a good corrosion resistance as nitriding time increased, whereas stainless steel containing low Nb content showed that pitting potential and corrosion potential decreased.
