“…Therefore, improvement of the surface properties is very important for industrial applications. Ion implantation [1,2] of materials is now considered the widely accepted solution of the problem of surface properties modification and improvement. It is well known that nitrogen implantation of aluminium and its alloys not only improves the tribomechanical properties [3] but also enhances the pitting corrosion [4] and oxidation resistance [5].…”

High current, short length nitrogen ion beam pulses emanating from a low energy (1.8 kJ) Mather type plasma focus device are utilized for room temperature surface nitriding of aluminium specimens. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and microhardness are used to study the surfaces of untreated and treated specimens. The surface hardness of the ion implanted specimens is found to improve by 300%. XRD studies reveal that the increase in microhardness is caused by the formation of cubic aluminium nitride phase.
