摘要: The hardness of nitrogen‐implanted steel surfaces has been determined indirectly by a surface‐sensitive abrasive wear technique using micrometer‐size diamond particles. Wear rates were measured, as function depth, for implanted and unimplanted discs, surface was obtained from verified relationship between rate hardness. Tempered carbon with nitrogen ions significantly hardened to depth commensurate the implantation depth. Nitrogen‐implanted 304 softer than ones, possibly due interference work hardening which normally occurs during wearing. This softening effect persisted depths several times implantaton. Composition‐vs‐depth profiles Auger electron spectroscopy, indicated migrated inward wear.
