Plasma parameters in Plasma Cathode Electron Source Device (PCESD) are very important things because they will determine the eficiency of its electron extraction. Square pulse mode of PCESD’s arc discharge plasma current can be obtained by using Pulse Forming Network (PFN) circuits which is called Arc Discharge Power Supply (ADPS). The square pulse mode is necessity to simplify in electron irradiation dose calculation. ADPS is connected with Hollow Anode Chamber (HAC) which is placed inside of PCESD to produce arc discharge plasma. The value of arc discharge plasma current is the main key to determine plasma parameters that can be measured by using Rogowski coil. The value of the arc discharge plasma current is IADPS = 206.30 A with pulse width = 80 μs. Whereas the plasma parameters values inside of the HAC are: the electron plasma density ne = (16.85 1019) m-3, electron plasma temperature Te = 2.609 eV, electron plasma frequency fe = 116.74 GHz, and Debye length λD = 9.958 µm respectively.
The nitrogen ion implantation can be used to improve surface mechanical properties and corrosion resistance behavior of AISI 316L stainless steels by modifying the near-surface layers of these materials. In this study, an AISI 316L stainless steel plate was implanted with the optimum ion dose of 5 1016 ion/cm2 for ion energy variation of 60, 80 and 100 keV. Microhardness was measured by Vickers method, and the results of measurements clearly indicate an enhancement hardness behavior for nitrogen implanted layer. It is found that the implanted layer hardness was increased by a factor of 1.3 in comparison to that of the unimplanted samples. The increased hardness resulting from nitrogen ion implantation was attributed to the formation of an iron nitride phase. Microstructure, chemical composition and surface morphology studied using the technique of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Analysis of SEM-EDX micrographs and XRD diffraction patterns indicate that the nitrogen implanted layer is composed of a metastable single phase which has properties very hard, good corrosion resistance behavior and wear resistance surface layers of stainless steel components. Effects of nitrogen ion implantation on the corrosion properties of AISI 316L stainless steels was evaluated using potentiostat PGS 201T. Corrosion properties of test results showed that there was a significant improvement in the corrosion resistance in the case of nitrogen implanted samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
