Low vacuum MEVVA titanium and nitrogen co-ion implantation into D2 steel substrates

Modification of TiN coatings by Ion Implantation

“…Improving the wear resistance of these steels can be achieved using several methods, egz. : by powder metallurgy for the manufacturing (Lindskog, 1993), by the PVD processes for coatings (Keenan et al, 1998) or the use of the ion technology to modify the properties of the steels' surface layer or coatings (Hensel et al, 1989;Narojczyk et al, 2005;Zhang et al, 2004;. Ion implantation into the working surfaces of cutting tools allows to change certain of their characteristics (depending on the choice of dopant elements and the parameters of the process) (Liu et al, 1995;Perez et al, 1999;Shalnov et al, 2011;Mikula et al, 2011;Baojian et al, 2014).…”

“…Good example of this technology may be the modification of TiN coatings with aluminum, boron or silicon ions, which stabilize the coating at higher temperatures (Zhang et al, 2004;Yang et al, 2007;Grančič et al, 2014). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ion implantation of silicon or silicon and nitrogen into the TiN subsurface layer on the properties of the rake face of HS 6-5-2 inserts.…”
