Effect of Nitrogen Implantation on Metal Transfer during Sliding Wear under Ambient Conditions

Figure 11

Rider wear and metal transfer percentage for the various tested conditions. The label references for the N+ implanted labels are provided at the bottom. Note that the rider wear for the N-implanted samples (b) were scaled by a factor of 10. A = 2e17 ions/cm2 at 100 kV, B = 1e17 ions/cm2 at 100 kV, C = 5e16 ions/cm2 at 100 kV, D = 2e17 ions/cm2 at 50 kV, E = 2e17 ions/cm2 at 100 kV at 100% red, F = 2e17 ions/cm2 at 50 kV; 100% red, G = 2e17 ions/cm2; 100 kV; heat treat, and H = 2e17 ions/cm2 at 100 kV; 100% red; heat treat.
