Abstract
The evolution of the nitrides produced by N-implantation of Cr-rich steel samples previously bombarded with Kr and annealed up to temperature corresponding to 0.5 of the melting point is studied by means of conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS), nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The TEM results show the size evolution of the bubbles. The dependence of the bubbles on the nitride evolution is established by CEMS results and a retention ofε-Fe2+x N up to 400°C was observed. The N-profile was obtained by NRA.
