Fig. 5.3: GIXRD analysis of unimplanted, and nitrogen implanted 304L SS [21].<br />
The profile for unimplanted specimens mostly revealed the presence of austenite peak at<br />
43.7º [Fe(111)], and martensite peak at 44.7º [αFe(110)], respectively [155]. The martensite<br />
peak observed was due to work hardening of surface by mechanical grinding, and polishing during<br />
specimen preparation. Other peaks occurring at 50.7°, 65°, 74.8 o , and 82.3 o corresponds to -<br />
Fe(200), α-Fe(200), -Fe(220), and ´-Fe (211) respectively [156]. The possible reason for the<br />
appearance of abnormal austenite, and martensite peaks is ascribed to existence of stacking faults<br />
on (111) plane of fcc lattice during cold rolling or most probably during mechanical preparation of<br />
specimens [157,158]. At a dose of 1×10 16 N + /cm 2 peaks observed were same except that, there
