• Experimental Design of a High Vacuum System for PUPR-MC Plasma Machine 

      Rivera Varona, Ramón; Colmenares, Franklyn; Leal, David; Lleonart, Giovanni (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2008)
      In vacuum technology it is customary to divide a large pressure region (as of today, covering 16 orders of magnitude) into single, smaller regions. These divisions are somewhat arbitrary. Thus, the chemists frequently refer ...
    • High Density Plasma Nitriding on Stainless Steel Alloys at PUPR-MC Plasma Machine 

      Rivera, Ramón; Colmenares, Franklyn; Lleonart Dávila, Giovanni; Leal, David; Gaudier, Jorge; González Lizardo, Ángel E.; Leal Quirós, Edbertho; Burgos Saldaña, Gilmer (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2008)
      A novel method of nitriding at high current levels at Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico Mirror Cusp plasma machine (PUPR-MC) has been performed. Nitrogen ions implantation or plasma nitriding increases the hardness at ...
