The aim of work a statistical study of the effects of plasma nitriding parameters such as deposition temperature, deposition time, concentration of CNT and percentage nitrogen and hydrogen flow on the wear behavior of electroless coating (Ni-B and Ni-B-CNT) on AISI 4340 steel was examined using response surface methodology (RSM) method based on a central composite design. Results indicated the effects for temperature of the deposition and the deposition time on rate of the wear for plasma nitriding of samples in the constant concentration CNT (0.35%) and percentage hydrogen/nitrogen ratio(50%). The rate of the wear for samples is decrement by an increment of deposition time and an increase in the temperature from range 350 °C - 400 °C and increased by a another increment in temperature of the deposition from range 400 °C - 450 °C. Rate of wear for the materials depends not just into condition of wear test, but also with several properties of material and features as topography, hardness and friction coefficient.
