Grazing angle XRD on ion-nitrided Ti6A14V components

摘要

Surface layers of ion-nitrided Ti6A14V alloy components were studied by grazing angle X-ray Diffraction, using a diffractometer specifically designed for thin films and materials surface characterisation. The study was aimed at the determination, as a function of the ion-nitriding temperature (700 /1000°C), of the phase composition at different depth under the surface. Present phases were:δ (TiN_x, 0.43
