摘要
This paper deals with the surface strengthening of aluminum alloys by means of a new process allowing multicharged nitrogen ion implantation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy were used to study microstructural changes involved by implantation. This microstructural study revealed the formation of MN and AION gamma due to the low nitrogen concentration gradient obtained with multicharged implantation. Nanoindentation and wear tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties of implanted surfaces. A significant improvement of wear resistance was observed as a consequence of the nitride protective layer formation. The observed surface hardening is attributed to both AION gamma and AIN formations and to the precipitation-induced stress. 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
