Abstract
A process for increasing the wear life of ceramic dies or other ceramic parts which entails firing a beam of nitrogen, carbon or carbon monoxide ions into the ceramic dies or other parts with an energy sufficient to implant the ions in the dies and other parts. This process enhances the wear resistance of the dies and parts, thereby increasing the wear life of the same. The process is particularly useful for treating ceramic dies and other parts which are used in industrial processing.
