From the wide range of engineering materials traditional Stellite 6 (cobalt alloy) exhibits excellent resistance to cavitation erosion (CE). Nonetheless, the influence of ion implantation of cobalt alloys on the CE behaviour has not been completely clarified by the literature. Thus, this work investigates the effect of nitrogen ion implantation (NII) of HIPed Stellite 6 on the improvement of resistance to CE. Finally, the cobalt-rich matrix phase transformations due to both NII and cavitation load were studied. The CE resistance of stellites ion-implanted by 120 keV N+ ions two fluences: 5 × 1016 cm−2 and 1 × 1017 cm−2 were comparatively analysed with the unimplanted stellite and AISI 304 stainless steel. CE tests were conducted according to ASTM G32 with stationary specimen method. Erosion rate curves and mean depth of erosion confirm that the nitrogen-implanted HIPed Stellite 6 two times exceeds the resistance to CE than unimplanted stellite, and has almost ten times higher CE reference than stainless steel. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms that NII of HIPed Stellite 6 favours transformation of the ε(hcp) to γ(fcc) structure. Unimplanted stellite ε-rich matrix is less prone to plastic deformation than γ and consequently, increase of γ phase effectively holds carbides in cobalt matrix and prevents Cr7C3 debonding. This phenomenon elongates three times the CE incubation stage, slows erosion rate and mitigates the material loss. Metastable γ structure formed by ion implantation consumes the cavitation load for work-hardening and γ → ε martensitic transformation. In further CE stages, phases transform as for unimplanted alloy namely, the cavitation-inducted recovery process, removal of strain, dislocations resulting in increase of γ phase. The CE mechanism was investigated using a surface profilometer, atomic force microscopy, SEM-EDS and XRD. HIPed Stellite 6 wear behaviour relies on the plastic deformation of cobalt matrix, starting at Cr7C3/matrix interfaces. Once the Cr7C3 particles lose from the matrix restrain, they debond from matrix and are removed from the material. Carbides detachment creates cavitation pits which initiate cracks propagation through cobalt matrix, that leads to loss of matrix phase and as a result the CE proceeds with a detachment of massive chunk of materials.

Ion Implanted

A pin on disk wear test apparatus was used to evaluate wear and friction properties for nitrogen ion implanted and non-ion implanted steel disks in the presence of a lubricant. Both AISI/1018 mild steel and 304 stainless steel were examined. Typical fluence levels for ion implantation were above 1017 ions/cm2. In this paper disk wear is measured directly by a Talysurf profilometer tracing of the disk wear scar. By varying the contact area of the pin it was possible to evaluate wear behavior of both unimplanted and implanted disks over a wide range of contact pressures. It is shown that stainless steel disk wear can be decreased by nitrogen ion implantation, provided that contact pressures remain less than the yield strength of the substrate material. No significant wear improvements were observed for 1018 steel. To evaluate improvements in hardness due to nitrogen ion implantation, very low penetration depth microhardness measurements were made and the indentation diagonals were measured in a scanning electron microscope. These results and their limitations are also presented.

ABSTRACTIon Implantation is emerging as a specialized surface treatment method by which orthopaedic alloys can be doped in order to modify for corrision, fatigue and wear properties.In this paper alterations in the corrosion and fatigue resistance of 316LVM stainless steel and Ti 6A1-4V ELI titanium alloy are considered. The effect of various variables was investigated; ion species, flux, accelerating voltage.Changes in corrosion resistance were monitored by performing anodic polarization studies in deaerated 0.1M NaCi solution at 22°C. The most effective species were found to be tantalum and boron for improvements to stainless steel.Fatigue properties were investigated using a Wohler type rotating bend test. Preliminary results show that nitrogen ion implantation improved the fatigue life for the steel but not the titanium alloy. Indications were found to suggest that time since implantation affect the fatigue properties.
