Effect of Nitrogen-Based Ion Implantation on The Characteristics of 316L Stainless Steel for Implant Materials

The effect of nitrogen-based ion implantation on the characteristics 316l stainless steel for implant materials has been performed. This study aims to determine variations in energy surface mechanical properties, density, and corrosion resistance 316L steel. plate was implanted with nitrogen ions an optimum dose 5 x 1016 ions/cm2 various energies 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 keV. samples were then characterized by hardness, resistance, microstructure tests using SEM-EDX. test results showed increase hardness pieces reached point at 80 also supported SEM-EDX analysis, which addition content from maximum limit ASTM 2000 standard 0.1% 2.2%. Whereas density test, material tends be constant carried out but increased after implantation.
