Abstract

We have performed mechanical finishing operations on Sverker 21 (traditional) and Vanadis 6 (advanced powder) steel surfaces: grinding, turning, and turning followed by slide burnishing. Then each specimen was subjected in turn to focused ion beams of helium or krypton up to fluences of 1015 ions/cm2 and finally to scratch resistance testing. Acoustic signals show that krypton implantation reduces microcracks. Helium ions act even more strongly as homogenizers—almost completely eliminating the imperfections. Optical microscopy during scratch testing shows the force level when debris formation begins. Helium ions fitting between the iron atoms increase the resistance against scratching; larger krypton ions produce the opposite effect.
