After pioneering work in the 1980s, plasma-based ion implantation (PBII) and plasma-based
ion implantation and deposition (PBIID) can now be considered mature technologies for …

Plasma immersion techniques of surface modification are known under a myriad of names.
The family of techniques reaches from pure plasma ion implantation, to ion implantation and …

This paper attempts to reduce some of the confusion that exists over the nature of the
nitrogen-rich layer produced by nitriding austenitic stainless steel at temperatures below …

Low pressure plasma arc discharge-assisted nitriding of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel is
a process that produces surface layers with useful properties such as a high surface …

CoCrMo is a biomedical grade alloy which is widely used in the manufacturing of
orthopaedic implants such as hip and knee replacement joints because of it has high …

Expanded austenite is a metastable phase formed after nitrogen insertion into austenitic
stainless steel, at elevated temperatures between 350 and 400° C with nitrogen contents …

The influence of hydrogen and oxygen on stainless steel implanted by nitrogen low-energy
ions is systematically studied. It is shown that hydrogen intervenes moderately in the …

The nitrided layers produced by low temperature conventional dc glow discharge plasma
nitriding and low pressure plasma arc source ion nitriding on AISI 304 austenitic stainless …

Nitrogen ion implantation can be used to improve surface mechanical properties (hardness,
wear, friction) of stainless steels by modifying the near-surface layers of these materials. In …

The system with crossed magnetic and electric fields and vacuum arc plasma sources for ion
deposition and low-voltage plasma treatment and plasma immersion ion implantation has …
