10. Plasma- or ion-assisted treatments
The two main industrial uses of ion treatments are ion carburizing and ion nitriding.
10.1 Principle and implementation of ionic processes
Ion cementation is a low-pressure (100 to 1,000 Pa) surface treatment process using a glow discharge to dissociate a hydrocarbon into ions and/or ionized molecules. These active ionized species are accelerated towards the parts to be treated and implant themselves on the surface. Under the effect of temperature, the carbon thus...
