Reduction of Hydrogen Embrittlement of HSLA Steel by Ion Implantation Surface Modification Technique
Abstract: There are many techniques available for the surface modification of the substrate. One of the important ion implantation techniques is plasma source ion implantation (PSII). Ion implantation is a vacuum process in which a beam of ions is directed to the surface and introduced into it. This technique produces minimum invasion of the bulk properties of the substrate. Nitrogen plasma ion implantation treatments were done on the substrate, Cu-strengthened HSLA …

Novel Probe Designs for the Scanning Kelvin Probe System
Abstract: The Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) Method is an indirect method to measure the electrochemical potential of a metal. Thus, in order to determine the potential of a given metal it is necessary to measure the Volta potential between it and an electrochemical reference electrode. Various designs of probes were developed to further improve the overall performance of the SKP system. Five novel probes were designed and tested with the SKP …
