What are Common Nanotechnological Methods for Surface Hardening?
Several nanotechnological methods are employed for surface hardening:
Ion Implantation: This technique involves bombarding the surface with high-energy ions, which penetrate the material and modify its properties on a nanoscale level. Laser Surface Engineering: Using laser beams to melt and rapidly solidify the surface creates a refined microstructure with enhanced hardness. Electrodeposition: This process deposits nanostructured coatings onto a substrate, improving hardness and corrosion resistance. Nano-Coatings: Applying thin films of nanomaterials, such as diamond-like carbon (DLC), can drastically improve surface properties.
