Abstract

Samples of AISI 304 and 316 stainless steels, initially in austenitic (first set) and martensitic states (second set) and α-Fe (third set), were implanted with 180 keV12C to a dose of 1017 atoms/cm2 at room temperature. Surfaces were examined by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and the crystalline-phase fractions were estimated through CEMS (conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy). Different grades of etching were produced by sputtering during the implantations on the stainless steel samples depending on the previous crystallographic states. CEMS data reveal the γ → α′ transformation in the initially martensitic samples and no noticeable modifications as a result of the implantation on α-Fe and austenitic samples.
