Am. Kliauga et al., Phase transformations in a super ferritic stainless steel containing 28% Cr after nitrogen ion implantation, J MATER SCI, 34(16), 1999, pp. 4065-4073
A super ferritic stainless steel with 28.12% Cr; 3.91% Ni; 2.44% Mo; 0.22%
Mn; 0.35% Si; 0.01% C; 0.01% N was implanted with nitrogen ions at 60 and 1
00 keV with different implantation doses. The nitrogen distribution and the
microstructure of the implanted layers were analysed by means of nuclear r
eaction analysis (NRA), Mossbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and transmission elec
tron microscopy (TEM). A nitrogen saturated austenite was formed at a lower
implantation dose, this austenite led to the precipitation of alpha "-Fe16
N2 nitrides and chromium nitrides by increasing the implantation dose and t
he implantation energy. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
