Abstract
AISI H13 steel samples were implanted with nitrogen using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) at 320 or 380 °C. In addition, PIII was used for simultaneous implantation of carbon and nitrogen into H13 steel at 380 °C. Treated and untreated samples were studied by wear-friction testing, microhardness measurement, atomic force microscopy and glancing angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) diagnosis. Experimental results indicated that the hardness and wear resistance were improved by increasing the PIII treatment temperature, whereas the presence of C ions does the opposite. It is explained by a nitride formation and a lattice expansion between 1.7 and 2.23%.
