Stainless Steel 304 (SS304) is one of stainless steel group widely used in industries for various purposes. In this paper, we compared the experimental process to enhance the mechanical properties of the surface SS304 through three different methods, cold rolled, annealed salt baht bronzing (ASB), and annealed salt baht boronizing-quench (ASB-Q). The phase change in SS304 due to the cold rolled process makes this method is to abandon. The increasing of the annealing time in the ASB method has a nonlinear relationship with the increases in hardness value. Comparing to the increases in hardness value of the ASB method, the hardness value of ASB-Q methods is still lower than that method.
