Abstract
The effect of 30‐keV nitrogen‐ion implantation on the fatigue lifetime of type 38 NCD4 steel has been investigated. The implants enhance the fatigue lifetime for nitrogen doses between 1017 and 2×1017 ions/cm2. The results suggest that the implantation current density can have an important role, in connection with the thermal diffusion of implanted ions.Keywords
