Abstract

Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been nitrided in plasmas of N2 -H2 -Ar. The structure has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the determination of the products formed. The information was supported by elemental analysis with Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES).

Three phases were identified as follows: δ-TiN, ε-Ti2N and α'-Ti (solid solution of nitrogen in titanium). The gas-feed composition affects the nitriding process as found from phase orientation and relative concentration of the products.
