The microstructure and the wear resistance of precision nickel alloy 40KhNYu-VI used for the production of paramagnetic bearings are studied after glow discharge nitriding. It is shown that the continuous layer of CrN nitride formed under the nitriding provides substantial elevation of the wear resistance of the surface of the parts. The wear intensity after the nitriding decreases by a factor of 5 – 8, which shows the possibility of application of glow discharge nitriding to parts operating under dry and boundary friction.
