Abstract
The effects of cathodic plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) utilized to enhance the surface properties of α-SiC ceramics were analyzed. The improvement was found to be more substantial when the mesh-assisted approach was adopted. The process was found to improve the surface hardness and reduce the friction coefficients. It was also found that when the mesh-assisted PIII was adopted the ion energy increased and the wear mechanism changed from predominantly abrasive to adhesive.
