Pulsed Ion Beam Surface Treatment for preparing rapidly solidified corrosion resistant alloy surfaces

摘要

IBEST (Ion Beam Surface Treatment) uses a series of 60 to 100 ns ion beam pulses to deposit energy in the topmost 2 to 20 (mu)m of ametal surface to melt it. Areas as large as 1000 cm(sup 2) can be treated by a single pulse. Treated regions that experienced melt were smoother after ion beam treatment. 2 figs, 1 tab, 2 refs.
