Popis: AISI 52100 steel was implanted at 100 keV with doses in the range 4 × 1017−3 × 1018C+/cm2. Tribological tests were carried out on an oscillating ball-on-disk tester. The friction coefficient of the steel implanted with a dose of 3 × 1018/cm2 was reduced by a factor of 3 for far more than 6 h. The wear behaviour of the steel shows normal wear up to a depth of 0.15 μm, being the range of the implanted carbon ions. Thereafter, a very low wear rate is obtained for more than 6 h (1.5 × 105 cycles). The ball shows also no wear during this period. The steel was also studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy for various doses. At the lowest dose, ϵ-carbide is formed. For the higher doses the amount of ϵ-carbide increases, and the composition approaches that of ϵ-Fe2.2C. The ϵ-carbide was also found by glancing-angle X-ray diffraction. Fe and C profiles were obtained from the Rutherford backscattering spectra. It was found that besides the ϵ-carbide a large amount of pure carbon is present in the implanted layer.
