In this study, we prepared samples under two different conditions, (1) 810
C, for 600 min, and (2) 850C, for 720 min. A depth-profile analysis of the surfaces of the samples is conducted through Doppler broadening (DB) measurements of positron annihilation 
rays using a slow positron beam. It was indicated that many of positrons annihilated in defects near the surface. According to the TEM image, there are nano-crystal grains near the surface and then positrons can diffuse in the grains and annihilate in defects at the grain boundaries. Furthermore, DB measurements indicated that there is a depth dependence on the chemical composition where positrons annihilate. EDS spectroscopy measurements also indicated that there is a depth dependence of impurities such as Vanadium. These results indicated change of the chemical composition at the grain boundaries.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：42.05(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Titanium alloy is widely used for applications such as golf club heads and structural materials for aircrafts. The surface can be exceedingly hardened by nitriding treatment that initiates defects, but there are some difficulties on use of titanium nitride because the layer can be exfoliated by stress. Therefore, we prepared samples in two different treatment conditions, (1) 810C 600 min and (2) 850C 720 min and performed depth profile analysis of Doppler broadening of positron annihilation -rays (DB) for these samples. According to a calculation of nitrogen diffusion depth, the nitride layer should be only about 0.05-0.1
m. However, the depth profile analysis of the DB measurement indicated that the defects introduced by nitriding treatment extended to a depth of 0.5m.

The impact stress exfoliates a Nitride surface layer on Titanium alloy prepared in some conditions. So we prepared specimens in two different conditions, (1) 810C, 600min and (2) 850C, 720min, and performed depth profile analysis of their surfaces with Doppler broadening measurements of positron annihilation -rays (DB) that is sensitive for defects by Slow Positron beams. Although the specimens (2) is harder than (1) according to the Vickers Hardness test, DB results indicated that defect layer of specimen (1) is thicker than (2). It means that the defect layer thickness was not the cause of surface hardening. Furthermore, chemical elements at the positron annihilation sites could be analyzed qualitatively by DB and the change of the composition appeared in deeper region than the defect layer. The defect layer depth does not match the depth where chemical composition changes by DB appeared. TEM and EDS observation showed different tendency from the results by DB. It is because positrons probe specific sites, and the combination of these methods will be a strong tool to investigate surface structures.
