Residual Deformations Induced By The Thermal Shock During Pulsed Ion Implantation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Samples of AISI 316 Stainless Steel were nitrogen and argon ion implanted with pulsed beams generated with a Plasma Gun operated in the detonation mode. The residual deformations induced by the beams were studied by double exposure (before and after implantation) holographic interferometry.
The results showed residual deformations corresponding to a concave situation, with the total value depending on the number of single pulses accumulated. A saturation in the deformation is observed when the number of pulses is > 20. A model of the process of pulsed irradiation (based on the strong thermal effect due to the short duration of pulses) and the state of stresses induced in the surface layers is presented.
