Mo and C ions extracted from a metal vapor vacuum arc ion source were implanted into the surface of die steel (H13) to compare the wear resistance mechanisms of the implanted samples, respectively. The concentration depth profiles of implanted ions were measured using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and calculated by a code called TRIDYN. The structures of the implanted steel were observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and grazing-angle X-ray diffraction, respectively. It was found that the conventional heat-treated H13 steel could not be further hardened by the subsequent implanted C ions, and the thickness of the implanted layer was not an important factor for the Mo and C ion implantation to improve the wear resistance of the H13 steel. Mo ion implantation could obviously improve the wear resistance of the steel at an extraction voltage of 48 kV and a dose of 5 × 1017 cm -2 due to formation of a modification layer of little oxidation with Mo 2 C in the implanted surface.

Mechanical And Tribological Properties

Carbon ion implantation has often been considered as an additional method to further improve the wear, corrosion and oxidation resistance of hard coatings on tools or machine parts. The present research investigates the effect of carbon implantation on the structural and mechanical properties of the sputter-deposited solid solution Ti-Al-N coatings. The carbon implantation was carried out by using metal vapour vacuum arc ion source (MEVVA) with solid cathode at energies of 5 and 50 keV, and a dose of 6×1017 atoms cm-2. The mechanical and the microstructure properties of the implanted layer were identified by a variety of analytic techniques, such as nano-indentation, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) etc. Additionally, the wear performance of the samples was evaluated by a typical ball-on-disk tribometer in dry conditions. The results showed that the coatings with high energy carbon implantation exhibited an enhanced hardness. The improved hardness could be attributed to the formation of TiC phase, as indicated in XPS. In the sliding tests, the coatings with the post-treatment of carbon implantation showed an improved tribological property in terms of friction coefficient and wear rate. The friction coefficient could be reduced from 0.6 to 0.1. The coatings had ten-fold better wear resistance than the coating without ion implantation.

The PVD- TiN film was implanted with titanium ions and the improvement in surface wear resistance was investigated. Ti ion implantation was done using a metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) ion source with an implantation dose of 2 × 1016 ions/cm2 and at an extraction voltage of 48 kV. The wear characteristics of the implanted zone was measured and compared to the performance of the unimplanted zone by a pin-on-disc apparatus and an optical interference microscope. The structure of the implanted zone and unimplanted one was observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A dynamic TRIM called TRIDYN was used to calculate the concentration depth profile of implanted Ti in TiN to investigate the profile of multi-charge state ions. The results showed that the improved wear resistance of the TiN film was mainly due to the presence of nano-order TiN crystal grains after Ti ion implantation.

Ti and C ions extracted from a metal vapor vacuum arc ion source (MEVVA) were implanted into H13 steel using a masking procedure to ensure reproducible conditions for testing and subsequent analysis. An optical interference microscope and pin-on-disc apparatus investigated the wear and friction characteristics of the steel. The Ti concentration depth profile from Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy was compared with that calculated by a TRIDYN code. It was observed by grazing-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy that carbide of Ti appeared in the doped region. The concentration depth profile and microstructure analysis can serve to illuminate the wear resistance improvement mechanisms of the Ti -implanted steel.

Ion implantation is an effective method to enhance hardness and wear resistance of the TiAlN coatings. In this paper, Nb and C ions are co-implanted into TiAlN coatings deposited by Magnetic Filter Arc Ion Plating (MFAIP), using a Metal Vacuum Vapor Arc (MEVVA) ion source implantor with doses of 1×1017and 5×1017ions/cm2. The microstructure, chemical composition, mechanical and tribological properties of Nb+C-implanted TiAlN coatings have been investigated by glancing incidence X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nanoindentation test and SRV friction & wear tester, respectively. The results showed that the NbN and TiC phases could be detected both from the XRD and XPS profiles of as-prepared films. Nb and C ion implantation could improve the hardness, plastic deformation resistance and wear behavior of TiAlN coatings due to the energetic Nb and C ion bombardment and the formation of NbN and TiC phases.

Tungsten Concentration

H13 steel samples were implanted with tungsten using a metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) ion source, with an implantation dose of 1×1017 cm -2, an extraction acceleration of 30 kV and pulsed ion beam fluxes of between 0.3 mA·cm -2 and 6 mA·cm -2. The surface mechanical properties and microstructure for the W-implanted samples was characterized by the Rutherford backscattering spectroscope (RBS) and a high voltage electron microscope (HVEM). Experimental results of wear and hardness indicated that the hardness and wear of H13 steel increased when the voids were produced by tungsten ion implantation with a high pulsed current density. Forming causes for voids and their influence on the tungsten concentration depth profile in the implanted H13 steel and the surface mechanical properties were discussed in terms of spike theory.

AbstractHf metal thin films were deposited on Si substrates using a pulsed laser deposition technique in vacuum and in ammonia ambients. The films were then oxidized at 400 °C in 300 Torr of O2. Half the samples were oxidized in the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from a Hg lamp array. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and grazing angle X-ray diffraction were used to compare the crystallinity, roughness, and composition of the films. It has been found that UV radiation causes roughening of the films and also promotes crystallization at lower temperatures.Furthermore, increased silicon oxidation at the interface was noted with the UVirradiated samples and was shown to be in the form of a mixed layer using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Incorporation of nitrogen into the film reduces the oxidation of the silicon interface.

Anatase TiO2 thin films are deposited on K9 glass samples at different substrate temperatures by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. N ion implantation is performed in the as-deposited TiO2 thin films at ion fluences of 5 × 1016, 1 × 1017, and 5 × 1017 ions/cm2. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV–visible spectrophotometer are used to characterize the films. With increasing N ion fluences, the absorption edges of anatase TiO2 films shift to longer wavelengths and the absorbance increases in the visible light region. XPS results show that the red shift of TiO2 films is due to the formation of N–Ti–O compounds. As a result, photoactivity is enhanced with increasing N ion fluence.

The difficulties of nonuniform ion etching which hamper depth profiling by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been overcome by use of a mechanically scanned saddle-field ion source. The system and its calibration for uniformity are described, and its performance is illustrated by the depth profile of a Si3N4/SiO2/Si metal nitride oxide silicon device. This also allows the potential advantages of XPS profiling over Auger electron spectroscopy profiling to be discussed.

In this study, Ti + N ion implantation was used as a surface modification method for surface hardening and friction-reducing properties of Cronidur30 bearing steel. The structural modification and newly-formed ceramic phases induced by the ion implantation processes were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD). The mechanical properties of the samples were tested by nanoindentation and friction experiments. The surface nanohardness was also improved significantly, changing from ~10.5 GPa (pristine substrate) to ~14.2 GPa (Ti + N implanted sample). The friction coefficient of Ti + N ion implanted samples was greatly reduced before failure, which is less than one third of pristine samples. Furthermore, the TEM analyses confirmed a trilamellar structure at the near-surface region, in which amorphous/ceramic nanocrystalline phases were embedded into the implanted layers. The combined structural modification and hardening ceramic phases played a crucial role in improving surface properties, and the variations in these two factors determined the differences in the mechanical properties of the samples.
