The Use of Ion Implantation for Materials Processing.
Abstract
This report is the sixth in a series of Progress Reports on work conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to investigate the use of ion implantation for materials processing. The objective of the program is to develop the capabilities of ion implantation and ion beam activated deposition for new and improved surface treatment techniques of interest to Navy and DOD applications. Attainment of this objective requires both fundamental research to provide an understanding of the physical and metallurgical changes taking place in the implanted region of a material and applications oriented research to demonstrate the benefits of ion implantation. The purpose of this report is to make available from one source the results of all studies at NRL related to the use of ion implantation for materials processing so as to provide a more comprehensive picture of the scope and interrelationship of the research and to expedite technology transfer to the civilian industrial sector. The report consists of four sections describing the research and a cummulative bibliography of published papers and reports. This report describes the important factors in ion implantation science and technology and reports progress in the use of ion implantation to modify friction, wear, fatigue, corrosion, optical and magnetic properties of materials.
