Title: Conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy of plasma immersion ion implanted H13 tool steel
Author(s): Terwagne, G.; Collins, G. A.; Hutchings, R.
Abstract: Conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) has been used to investigate nitride formation in AISI-H13 tool steel after treatment by plasma immersion ion implantation (PI3) at 350 °C. With only slight variation in the plasma conditions, it is possible to influence the kinetics of nitride precipitation so as to obtain nitrogen concentrations that range from those associated with ε-Fe2N through ε-Fe3N to γ′-Fe4N. The CEMS results enable a more definite identification of the nitrides than that obtained by glancing-angle X-ray diffraction and nuclear reaction analysis alone.
