Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Ion Implantation Re- lated Tribological Equipment

该项目为摩擦学设备提供资源，包括 用于表征表面光洁度和磨损的表面轮廓仪， 用于测量磨损期间重量损失的分析天平，以及 显微硬度计，用于表征极薄材料的表面硬度 注入层 该设备增强了科罗拉多州 大学的摩擦学实验室调查影响的能力 金属表面的离子注入。 离子注入的目的是 提高滑动耐磨性和改变 摩擦系数的变化。

This project provides resources for tribology equipment, including a surface profilometer for characterizing surface finishes and wear, an analytical balance for measuring weight loss during wear, and a microhardness tester for characterizing surface hardness of very thin implanted layers. The equipment enhances the Colorado State University's tribology laboratory's ability to investigate the effects of ion implantation of metal surfaces. The goal of ion implantation is the improvement of sliding wear resistance and alteration of the coefficient of friction.
