Abstract
The study investigates the effect of RF plasma on the commercial SS201 and Steel alloys physical, structural and nuclear properties, using an atmosphere of nitrogen (85%) plus acetylene (15%) at 500 W working for 0.5 h. The results were compared with untreated alloys and AISI304L. The study indicated the ability of RF plasma to improve both the mechanical and tribological properties of treated alloys compared to the original commercial alloys and the AISI304L, and achieve good shielding properties for industrial/nuclear applications.
