Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure, corrosion and tribological behaviour of plasma immersion ion-implanted austenitic stainless steel
TL;DR: The surface modification of AISI 316 stainless steel by plasma immersion ion implantation (PI3) has been investigated over a range of treatment temperatures as discussed by the authors, and the results are similar to those obtained by conventional ion beam implantation of nitrogen, but the depth of nitrogen penetration increases dramatically with temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitriding of austenitic stainless steel by plasma immersion ion implantation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray diffraction of AISI 316 stainless steel at temperatures between 350 and 450 °C to identify a supersaturated f.c. phase of expanded austenite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Immersion Ion-Implantation of Steels
TL;DR: In this paper, an implanter based on an inductively coupled r.f. glow discharge plasma was developed for nitrogen implantation in steels, which achieved high nitrogen densities of 1010 cm−3 with filling pressures of about 10−3 mbar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a plasma immersion ion implanter for the surface treatment of metal components
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development of a plasma immersion ion implantation (PI 3 ) system, aimed at treating metal components up to a few hundred square centimetres in surface area with a hybrid implantation/diffusion process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion-assisted surface modification by plasma immersion ion implantation
TL;DR: Plasma immersion ion implantation can add high-energy ion bombardment to almost any plasma-based surface treatment as discussed by the authors, which can be used as a non-line-of-sight alternative to ion-beam implantation.
