The thickness of layers produced by plasma based ion implantation (PBII) range from nano to micrometers. Consequently, mechanical properties of such layers demand the use of instrumented indentation (II). However, PBII processes promote roughness, which has strong influence on the reliability of har
## Abstract Nickelβtitanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys are increasingly being used in orthopedic applications. However, there is a concern that Ni is harmful to the human body. We have recently investigated the use of nitrogen, or oxygen plasma immersion ion implantation to mitigate this deleteriou
