Abstract

The use of ion implantation for non-semiconductor applications has evolved steadily over the last decade. To date, industrial trials of this technology have been mainly directed at the wear reduction of steel and cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide tools by high dose nitrogen implantation. However, several other surface sensitive properties of metals such as fatigue, aqueous corrosion, and oxidation, have benefitted from either i)direct ion implantation of various ion species, ii)the use of ion beams to “intermix” a deposited thin film on steel or titanium alloy substrates, or iii)the deposition of material in conjunction with simultaneous ion bombardment.

This paper will concentrate on applications that have experienced the most industrial trials, mainly high dose nitrogen implantation for reducing wear, but will present the features of the other ion beam based techniques that will make them appear particularly promising for future commercial utilization.
