V. Bystritskii et al., MATERIAL SURFACE-TREATMENT USING MICROSECOND PLASMA OPENING SWITCH, Theoretical and applied fracture mechanics, 26(2), 1997, pp. 151-154
This paper is concerned with the surface treatment of steels by a high
power ion beam generated in microsecond plasma opening switch (MPOS).
Investigated are modified surface properties of stainless steel, carb
on steel, and pure iron whereby the optimal regimes for irradiation we
re defined. An increase in microhardness up to 1.5-2 times was obtaine
d. The numerical calculations and theoretical estimates of the ion bea
m-matter interaction were also made.
