Effect of bombarding steel with Xe${}^{+}$ ions on the surface nanostructure and on pulsed plasma nitriding process

S. Cucatti, E. A. Ochoa, M. Morales +7

The modification of steel (AISI 316L and AISI 4140) surface morphology and underlying inter-crystalline grains strain due to Xe${}^{+}$ ion bombardment are reported to affect nitrogen…
