Characterization of this resulting layer was performed by FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), USPM (Universal Scanning Probe Microscope) and nanoindentation. By using these methods, changes in the mechanical properties due to the diffusion of carbon and nitrogen at low temperature treatments have been traced. This hybrid treated sample has confirmed a considerable increase in hardness and a small rise in the elastic modulus compared to the untreated sample. It is found that all treated samples have enhance E/H ratio which exhibited the decreasing tendency to plastic deformation and reduced the mismatch of properties, while keeping deformation within the elastic range. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. %K AISI316L stainless steel; Austenitic; Diffusion of carbons; Elastic ranges; Field emission scanning electron microscopes; Low temperature treatment; Low temperatures; Scanning probe microscope, Austenitic stainless steel; Manufacture; Mechanical properties; Nanoindentation; Optimization, Temperature
