Friction treatment (FT) with a sliding indenter forming nano- and submicrocrystalline austenite structures in the surface layer of austenitic steel 03Kh1N14M3T (the volume fraction of strain martensite does not exceed 1.5%) is studied. It is shown that the FT hardens the surface of the steel to 720 HV0.025 and raises the wear resistance under the conditions of sliding friction with a lubricant by a factor of 4 – 70. This is associated with restriction of the processes of plastic squeezing and seizure on the nanostructured surface, which is confirmed by the results of microindentation.
