β¦ Synopsis
Fabrication and surface treatment of die are important issues for micro-metal forming. Ion beam irradiation was applied as a new process for surface finish of micro-die after the machining in this paper. Ar ion plasma by electron cyclone resonance (ECR) equipment was utilized for the irradiation process. Roughness and mechanical properties (Young's modulus and hardness) of the surface was measured by using a confocal scanning laser microscope and a nanoindentation, respectively. Furthermore, durability of the die was evaluated through a piercing test on a press machine. Experimental results show that the ion irradiation is very effective to reduce the surface roughness due to the machining process.
The durability was improved corresponding to reduction of surface roughness.

Alternative coating processes such as HVOF can provide improved wear, fatigue and impact resistance compared with chrome, while reducing the environmental and healt
Ion irradiation of polymers offers a number of interesting possibilities for applications. In the case of latent tracks, radiochemical changes, phase transitions, alterations of the intrinsic free volume, or radiation induced defects can be exploited -the latter ones to trap mobile impurities. These
