Effects of mesh-assisted carbon plasma immersion ion implantation on the surface properties of insulating silicon carbide ceramics

    Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

    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.
