N+ Ion Implantation Effects on Microhardness Properties of Stainless Steel 52100
Abstract
Ion implantation has been used to modify the mechanical properties of a wide range of metals and alloys using plasma techniques for ion sources and plasma surface treatment 1-2. It is well known for producing a modification in the structure of the superficial layers of metals by formation of new crystalline phases, meta stable or amorphous, and thus to improve the surface properties 3. By ion implantation we are able to change the chemical composition, phase and structure of near surface layers, i.e. the very parameters of a material which predetermine, to a great extent, its mechanical, optical, electrophysical, corrosive properties.
