Ion diffusion into metals by double glow discharge. A new plasma surface alloying technique

The diffusion of ions into a metal by double glow discharge--a new plasma surface alloying technique--is presented. An enhanced discharge caused by double glow cross-interaction is introduced as a special discharge. The conditions and physics of double glow cross-interaction are discussed. The effects of this cross-interaction on plasma surface alloying are also discussed. Experimental results and industrial applications as well as future industrialization and problems of application and promotion are mentioned
