In plasma source ion implantation, the target is immersed in the plasma and repetitively biased by negative high voltage pulses to implant the extracted ions from plasma into the surface of the target material. In this way, the problems of line-of-sight implantation in ion-beam ion implantation technique can be effectively solved. In addition, the high dose rate and simplicity of the equipment enable the ion implantation a commercially affordable process. In this work, plasma source ion implantation technique was used to improve the wear resistance of Co-cemented WC. which has been extensively used for high speed tools. Nitrogen and carbon ions were implanted using the pulse bias of -602kV, 25 sec and at various implantation conditions. The implanted samples were examined using scanning Auger electron spectroscopy and XPS to investigate the depth distributions of implanted ions and to reveal the chemical state change due to the ion implantation. The implanted ions were found to have penetrated to the depth of 3000$\AA$. The wear resistance of the implanted samples was measured using pin-on-disc wear tester and the wear tracks were examined with alpha-step profilometer.

Nitrogen implantation process has been applied for improvement of wear resistance of Zircaloy-4 fuel cladding materials. Nitrogen was implanted at 120keV to a total dose range of $1\times 10^{17}$ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to $1\times 10^{18}$ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at various temperatures between $270^{\circ}C$ and $671^{\circ}C$. The microstructure changes by nitrogen implantation were analyzed by XRD and AES and wear behavior was evaluated by performing ball-on-disc type wear testing at various loads and sliding velocities under unlubricated condition. Nitrogen implantation produced ZrNx nitride above $3\times 10^{17}$ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ as well as heavy dislocations, which resluted in an increase in microhardness of the implanted surface of up to 1400 $H_k$ from 200 $H_k$ of unimplanted substrate. Hardness was also found to be increased with increasing implantation temperature up to 1760 $H_k$ at $620^{\circ}C$. The wear resistance was greatly improved as total ion dose and implantation temperature increased. The effective enhancement of wear resistance at high dose and temperature is believed to be due to the significant hardening associated with high degree of precipitation of Zr nitrides and generation of prismatic dislocation loops.

The aim of this study is to develop sintered stainless steels (SSS) with good mechanical strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance by nitrogen ion implantation on the Culated SSS surface. Stainless steel compacts containg Cu (2-10 wt%) were prepared by electroless Cu-pating method which results in the increased3 homogenization in alloying powder. Nitrogen ion implantation was carried out by using N2 gas as the ion source. Nitrogen ions were embedded by an acceleratol of 130keV with doese $3.0\times10^{17}\;ions/\textrm{cm}^2$ on the SSS at $25^{\circ}C$ in$2\times10^{-6}$ torr vacuum. The nitrogen ion implanted SSS obtained from anodic ploarization curves revealed higher corrosion potential than that of nitrogen ion unimplante one. And nitrogen ion implanted 316LSSS had good resistance to pitting corrosion due to the synergistic effect of Mo and N, and the inhibition of $NH_4\;^+$<\TEX>, against $CI^-$<\TEX>.

Nitrogen ion with various levels of dose and irradiation energy was irradiated on aluminum surfaces. Contact angle of surface was increased and surface color was changed by nitrogen ion implantation. During steam condensation experiment using nitrogen ion implanted specimen, dropwise condensation initially occurred on specimens. However, condensation mode eventually changed into filmwise condensation. The color of the surface was also changed from yellow-brown to silver-white. This change of surface color and condensation mode were results of hydrolysis reaction between condensate and nitrogen ion implanted on aluminum surfaces.

The surface characteristics of nitrogen ion implanted iron aluminides were investigated using various electrochemical methods in $H_2$$SO_4$+KSCN and HCl solutions. Nitrogen ion implantation was performed with doses of $3.0$\times$10^{17}$ /ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an energy of 150keV. Nitrogen ion implanted iron aluminides increased the corrosion potential and significantly decreased grain boundary activation, the active current density, and passive current density. Nitrogen implanted iron aluminides with Mo increased the corrosion, pitting potential, repassivation potential and │$E_{pit}$-$E_{corr}$│ value. Whereas, implanted iron aluminides containing boron reduced the pitting and repassivation potential in comparison with nitrogen implanted iron aluminides with Cr and Mo.o.

The ion implantation technology changes the chemical state of the surface of a material by implanting ions on the surface. It improves the wear resistance, friction characteristics, etc. Plasma ion implantation can effectively reinforce a surface by implanting a sufficient amount of plasma nitrogen ions and using the injection depth instead of an ion beam. As plasma ion implantation is a three-dimensional process, it can be applied even when the surface area is large and the surface shape is complicated. Furthermore, it is less expensive than competing PVD and CVD technologies. and the material is The accommodation range for the shape and size of the plasma is extremely large. In this study, we improved wear resistance by implanting plasma nitrogen ions into a carbide end mill tool, which is frequently used in high-speed machining

This article reports changes in the mechanical properties of chromium steel after nitrogen implantation at high temperature. The samples are implanted with 120keV N-ion at doses ranging from $1\times1080$ to $4\times1080ions/cm^2$ and at substrate temperature ranging from 25 to $400^{\circ}C$. Nano-hardness and AES(Auger electrons spectroscopy) were measured from nitrogen ion implanted layer. The sliding wear and impact wear properties of the implanted samples were also measured. The results revealed that the hardness and mechanical properties of ion implanted samples depend strongly on the ion doses and implantation temperature. The hardness of the nitrogen implanted sample with 120keV, $4\times10^{18}ions/cm^2$, $335^{\circ}C$ was measured to be approximately 20 GPa, which is approximately 5 times higher than that of un-implanted sample (H=3.8 GPa). Also, the sliding wear and impact wear properties of nitrogen implanted samples were greatly improved. Detailed experiment results will be presented.

A surface hardenable low alloy carbon steel was implanted with medium energy (20 - 50KeV) $N_2^+$ ions to produced a modified hardened surface. The implantation conditions were varied and are given in several doses. The surface hardness of treated and untreated steels were measured using depth sensing ultra micro indentation system (UMIS). It is shown that the hardness of nitrogen ion implanted steels varied from 20 to 50GPa depending on the implantation conditions and the doses of implantation. The structure of the modified surfaces was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the high hardness on the implanted surfaces was as a result of formation of non-equilibrium nitrides. High-resolution XPS studies indicated that the nitride formers were essentially C and Si from the alloy steel. The result suggests that the ion implantation provided the conditions for a preferential formation of C and Si nitrides. The combination of evidences from nano-indentation and XPS, provided a strong evidence for the existence of $sp^3$ type of bonding in a suspected $(C,Si)_xN_y$ stoichiometry. The formation of ultra hard surface from relatively cheap low alloy steel has significant implication for wear resistance implanted low alloy steels.

SCM415 alloy was implanted with nitrogen ions using plasma source ion implantation (PSII), at a dose range of $1{\times}10^{17}\;to\;6{\times}10^{17}\;N^+cm^{-2}$ Auger electron spectrometry (AES) was used to investigate the depth profile of the implanted layer. Friction and wear tests were carried out on a block-on-ring wear tester. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the micro-morphology of the worn surface. The results revealed that after being implanted with nitrogen ions, the frictional coefficient of the surface layer decreased, and the wear resistance increased with the nitrogen dose. The tribological mechanism was mainly adhesive, and the adhesive wear tended to become weaker oxidative wear with the increase in the nitrogen dose. The effects were mainly attributed to the formation of a hard nitride precipitate and a supersaturated solid solution of nitrogen in the surface layer.

The most suitable condition for plasma source ion implantation(PSII) was found based on the study of the characteristics of PSIIed tool and machined surfaces. The depth analysis according to the chemical bonding state of elements and surface component elements through the XPS and SIMS, was conducted to find the improved property of the PSIIed surface. Due to the diffusion of PSII, the nitrogen was found up to a depth of about 150nm according to the supplied voltage and ion implanted time. The deep diffusion by nitrogen caused the surface modification, but the formation of oxide component was found due to the residual gas contamination on the surface. Statistical method of ANOVA was conducted to find the effects of spindle speed and feed rate in interaction for machined surface roughness with PSIIed tools. The surface modification was found largely occurred by the nitrogen implanted surface with 2 hours for 27kV, 35kV and 43kV.
