Abstract
Plasma-immersion ion implantation (PIII) and high-current ion implantation (HCII) of nitrogen into M2 steel were carried out. The formation of a multi layer system consisting of a surface layer of austenite on top of epsilon-F e3N nitride precipitates was manifested in M2 steel after PIII. HCII forms a thick (more than 14 mu m) layer with epsilon-Fe3N precipitates. Apparentl y, the formation of the austenite layer after PIII is connected with a loca l tempering of the steel surface by the pulsed nitrogen ion beam. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
