Application of Ion Implantation for the Improvement of Localized Corrosion Resistance of M50 Steel Bearings.

Abstract

A program is currently underway to use ion implantation to improve the tribiological and corrosion characteristics of load bearing surfaces in both rolling element bearings and gears used in aircraft propulsion systems. This report describes that aspect of the program concerned with the use of ion implantation for surface alloying of bearing components in order to alleviate the problem of corrosion in M50 steel mainshaft aircraft engine bearings.
