Laser-produced iron nitrides seen by Mössbauer spectroscopy

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy is a very powerful tool to investigate technological processes performed mainly at the surface of materials. Nitriding of metals and steel is well established in surface engineering, and gas nitriding is used most frequently. Laser nitriding, i.e. the nitrogen take-up from the ambient gas upon irradiation of a steel surface with short laser pulses, is presented in its application to iron, stainless steel and plain carbon steels. It will be demonstrated how Mössbauer spectroscopy in combination with complementary methods (Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, Resonant nuclear reaction analysis, Nanoindentation) can help to reveal basic mechanisms in these processes.
