Abstract

Material hardening is a topic of much interest. In this paper, material hardening on AISI 1020 low
carbon steel was done using INTI plasma focus (INTI PF) machine. It was found that the best
distance for optimum hardening was to place the sample material 4 cm from the anode at a pressure
of 1 Torr when the plasma machine is operating at 12 kV as it improves the hardening by 97.8%.
Computation with the Lee codes produce plots of ion beam energy versus pressure and number of
ions versus pressure. Thus we are able to correlate the optimum hardness of the treated sample
surface to the interaction of optimum beam energy and number of ions.
