Iron carbides and nitrides have aroused great interest in researchers, due to their excellent
magnetic properties, good machinability and the particular catalytic activity. Based on these …

Laser hardening is usually performed in air. Use of a controlled gas atmosphere might
produce a direct reaction of the gas with surface and thus provide an opportunity to engineer …

This study investigates the development of surfaces that combine wear-resistance and solid
lubrication properties using single low-temperature plasma carburizing treatments …

This study investigated the effect of a low-temperature carburized layer on the topography,
mechanical and tribological properties of sintered and nitrided sintered iron. Two nitride …

Five imidazolium-type ionic liquids, containing both N1-unsatured chain and N3-long alkyl
saturated chain as cations and hexafluorophosphate as anion (VImC x PF 6, x= 4, 8, 12, 18 …

Nitriding and carburizing by laser irradiation in combination with a process gas is a common
method to enhance the surface properties of various materials. This chapter discusses the …

The interaction of a dense compressive nitrogen plasma flow with carbon steel specimens
has been investigated. The flows were generated by a magnetoplasma compressor, in …

CO 2 laser induced co-pyrolysis of toluene and iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of an
ethylene sensitizer was used to produce iron-carbon nanostructures containing cementite …

Carbides and nitrides play an important role for technological applications. Here, we present
a new promising technique for a direct laser synthesis of carbides and nitrides by pulsed …

Pure titanium was irradiated by pulsed Nd: YAG laser irradiation in nitrogen atmosphere. As
a result, nitrogen uptake and diffusion occurred and a TiN layer was synthesized at the …
