Title: The application of plasma immersion ion implantation to sheep shearing combs / John H. Watkins.
Author: Watkins, John H. (John Hanmer), 1965-
Issue Date: 1995
School/Discipline: Dept. of Chemical Engineering
Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the process of applying the plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) to shearing tools and to test surface modified tools in a sheep shearing environment. Detailed observations are made of the microstructural changes occurring near the surface of a Cr-Mo-V alloy tool steel rod subjected to nitrogen ion implantation at 350oC by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO)
