Abstract
Two types of steels, SKD11 and NAK55, with and without chromium were implanted with 30 keV nitrogen ions to a dose 2 × 1017 cm2 using the new deep implantation process after the preliminary surface treatment by a quasi-neutral intense nitrogen ion flux with the energy 300 eV up to the 1019 cm2. The thickness of the hardened layer significantly increased up to ~ 20 μm by 5 minutes irradiation with 300 eV nitrogen ions at temperatures between 250 and 300°C. The wear resistance of martensitic stee! SKD11 was drastically improved by a factor of 20 after pre-plasma irradiation. Deep implantation also reduces the wear of NAK55 by an order of magnitude, associated with an increase in hardness by a factor of 2.4 at an applied load of 50 gf due to the formation of Fe2.4N and CrN.
