was an increase in martensite peak intensity. The “ballistic effect” of ions implanted on the<br />

surface, can also induce shear deformation, and produce dislocations in fcc crystal structure which<br />

enhances the martensite peak character [159]. At highest dose of implantation (1×10 17 , 2.5×10 17<br />

N + /cm 2 ) a singlet peak was observed at 42.7 o corresponding to the formation of chromium nitride<br />

[Cr 2 N (111)] phase [160], and furthermore the peaks at 44.7º [αFe(110)], 65° [αFe(200)], and<br />

82.3° [´-Fe (211)] also disappeared [21].<br />

The results for metallographic characterization of unimplanted, and nitrogen implanted<br />

304L SS are shown in Fig. 5.4 [21].<br />
