    Magnetic Layer Formation on Plasma Nitrided Cocrmo Alloy
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Öztürk, Orhan; Okur, Salih; Okur, Salih; Öztürk, Orhan; Riviere, Jean Paul; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study structural and magnetic character of the expanded austenite phase (γN) layer formed on a medical grade CoCrMo alloy by a low-pressure Radio-Frequency plasma nitriding process was investigated. The formation of the expanded austenite phase is facilitated at a substrate temperature near 400°C for 1, 2, 4, 6 and 20h under a gas mixture of 60% N2-40% H2. The magnetic state of the γN layers was determined by a surface sensitive technique, magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), and with a scanning probe microscope in magnetic force mode (MFM). Strong evidence for the ferromagnetic nature of the γN-(Co,Cr,Mo) phase is provided by the observation of stripe domain structures and the hysteresis loops. The ferromagnetic state for the γN phase observed here is mainly linked to large lattice expansions (~10%) due to high N contents (~30at.%). As an interstitial impurity, nitrogen dilates the host lattice i.e. the Co-Co (or Fe-Fe) distance is increased, which strongly influences the magnetic interactions. An analogy between the magnetic properties of the expanded phases, γN-(Fe,Cr,Ni) and γN-(Co,Cr,Mo), formed in austenitic stainless steel alloys and the CoCrMo alloy of this study is made, and it is suggested that the ferromagnetic states for the γN-(Co,Cr,Mo) and γN-(Fe,Cr,Ni) phases may be correlated with the volume dependence of the magnetic properties of fcc-Co/Co4N and fcc-Fe/Fe4N, respectively.

    Cocrmo Alloy Treated by Floating Potential Plasma Assisted Nitriding and Plasma Based Ion Implantation: Influence of the Hydrogen Content and of the Ion Energy on the Nitrogen Incorporation
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Pichon, L.; Okur, Salih; Öztürk, Orhan; Okur, Salih; Drouet, M.; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Nitriding was performed on a medical grade CoCrMo alloy at 400°C in N2 or N2-H2 atmosphere at a working pressure of 0.84Pa for 2h. Various surface treatment techniques were used to incorporate nitrogen into the CoCrMo alloy: without any plasma assistance, by floating potential radio-frequency plasma assisted nitriding (FPPAN), by plasma based ion implantation (PBII) with several high voltage accelerations (up to 20kV). Without plasma activation, no nitrogen is incorporated in the CoCrMo. On the contrary, all the plasma or PBII treated samples show the formation of a nitrogen-rich f.c.c. γN phase. The layer nitrided over few microns has a nitrogen composition ranging from 30at.% to about 20at.% near the nitrided layer-substrate interface, with an enhanced surface microhardness. Hydrogen is found to enhance the nitriding efficiency. Without hydrogen, a high voltage polarization provides a supplementary amount of implanted nitrogen available for further diffusion and the sputtering of the surface passive oxide. So, with limited high voltages, thicker layers with higher amounts of nitrogen can be achieved by PBII compared to plasma nitriding. However, with higher voltages, the sputtering becomes too important and the nitride layer is thinner. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    Structural and Magnetic Characterization of Plasma Ion Nitrided Layer on 316l Stainless Steel Alloy
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Öztürk, Orhan; Okur, Salih; Öztürk, Orhan; Okur, Salih; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, an FeCrNi alloy (316L stainless steel disc) was nitrided in a low-pressure R.F. plasma at 430 °C for 72 min under a gas mixture of 60% N2-40% H2. Structural, compositional and magnetic properties of the plasma nitrided layer was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM). The magnetic behaviour of the nitrided layer was also investigated with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Combined X-ray diffraction, cross-sectional SEM, AFM and MFM, as well as VSM analyses provide strong evidence for the formation of the γN phase, [γN-(Fe, Cr, Ni)], with mainly ferromagnetic characteristics. The uniform nature of the γN layer is clearly demonstrated by the XRD, cross-sectional SEM and AFM analyses. Based on the AFM and SEM data, the thickness of the γN layer is found to be ∼6 μm. According to the MFM and VSM analyses, ferromagnetism in the γN layer is revealed by the observation of stripe domain structures and the hysteresis loops. The cross-sectional MFM results demonstrate the ferromagnetic γN phase distributed across the plasma nitrided layer. The MFM images show variation in the size and form of the magnetic domains from one grain to another.
