Abstract
304 L stainless steel films were prepared using an ion-beam sputtering technique and their structure was first investigated using X-ray diff raction and transmission electron microscopy. It was found to be bcc a nd nanocrystalline, the grain size being about 10 nm. The determinatio n of the residual stresses in the films was performed using the sin(2) Psi method and the result was about -3 GPa. Finally, the wear tests r evealed a considerable improvement in wear behaviour of the film/304 L steel substrate system with respect to bulk 304 L steel alone.
