Abstract

Implantation of 1018 steel (0. 18 wt% carbon) with 75 keV-nitrogen ions has resulted in modification of fatigue, cavitation-erosion and internal friction. Modification of surface-related mechanical properties is related to the interactions of nitrogen with dislocations. The high-cycle fatigue-lifetime of N-implanted 1018 steel has been increased when implanted samples are thermally aged, presumably enabling interstitial migration to and association with near-surface dislocations. Implantation also improves cavitation resistance in distilled water. These studies have been accompanied by analytical techniques to explore the responsible mechanisms.
