Abstract

Plasma source ion implantation (PSII) is a non-line-of-sight technique for surface modification of materials which is effective for non-planar targets. Properties such as hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and friction can be improved without affecting the bulk properties of the material. Type 304 austenitic stainless steel was treated by nitrogen plasma ion implantation at a target bias of -50kV. Surface properties, including microhardness and ion depth profile, were studied.
