TL;DR: In this paper, a collection of 16 metals with the face-centered-cubic (fcc) crystal structure, including stainless steels, Fe-Ni alloys and pure Ni, have been subjected to the same nitrogen ion beam processing conditions to examine the role of alloy composition in the surface modification behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a comparative study using beam ion implantation (BII), PII, ion nano-coating and gas nitriding of AISI 304 stainless steel were presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a matrix of nitrogen ion energies (0.4, 0.7 and 1.0 keV) and ion fluxes (1, 2, and 3 mA/cm2) has been selected to investigate the systematics of ion-beam processing of an austenitic FeCr ǫNi stainless steel (AISI 304) at 400°C for 60 min.

TL;DR: The effects of surface temperature associated with the implantation process on sliding wear behavior, hardness, microstructure and B concentration profiles were studied systematically in this article, where solid boron was extracted into a broad beam and implanted into α-iron and AISI M2 tool steel surfaces to alter their tribological characteristics.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the temperatures of fully hardened and mill-annealed AISI M2 steels during N implantation at low energy and high current density on their hardnesses, sliding wear behaviors, microstructures and N concentration profiles were investigated.
