Abstract:
The authors conducted a study of phase transitions in chromium - nickel films (Cr–Ni) that occurs after exposure to carbon ion beam by method of Rutherford backscattering (ROS) and x-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that in the modified layer hard alloy is formed on the basis of chromium carbide Cr$_7$C$_3$ in the nickel matrix.
Keywords:cemented carbide, chromium carbide, carbon ion beam.
