Abstract
Ion implantation creates alterations in surface composition or morphology of solids which yield to a modification of physical and especially mechanical properties; such as hardness and modulus of elasticity. The aim of this study is to focus on the friction and wear behaviour of N 2 and Zr implanted and TiN coated 316L stainless steel and compare with a substrate. Particularly, stainless steels were of interest, because they often display a poor tribological behaviour, which can be improved when they are hardened by incorporating N 2, TiN and Zr and forming a hardened surface zone. The present implantations were shown to improve the friction coefficient as well as the wear resistance of the stainless steel surface.
