Tribological properties of Stellite 6 cobalt alloy implanted with nitrogen ions determined in the tests conducted in engine fuel atmosphere

The influence of nitrogen ion implantation on the tribological properties of Stellite 6 cobalt alloy was investigated. The tribological tests were conducted using a pin / ball on disc in the atmosphere of engine fuels. In the study, cobalt alloy was implanted with 60 keV nitrogen ions at the fluence of 1∙1016 and 5∙1016 N+/cm2. The wear trace was measured using the Form Talysurf Intra Taylor Hobson profilometer. The results demonstrate that nitrogen ion implantation affects the friction coefficient and wear. The effect of nitrogen ion implantation depends on the environment in which the tribological test is carried out, the sample temperature and the presence of friction products in the friction node.
