Effects of single- and dual-element ion implantation on tribomechanical properties of Cronidur 30 bearing steel

This paper presents the results of a study on the effects of Ti ion and Ti + Cr ion implantation on the hardness and wear resistance of Cronidur 30 bearing steel. The mechanical properties of the samples implanted and nonimplanted were investigated by nanoindentation, friction and wear tests; The microstructures and phase transformations were also studied by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy...
