Continuing Research on Friction and Wear of Materials

Abstract

This project was designed to provide new information on the effects of ion implantation on surface (adhesion, chemical effects) and subsurface (deformation) effects during unlubricated sliding of metals. The base materials are copper and iron. Thus, in some samples there should be mainly structural changes caused by implantation (e.g. Fe into Fe, Cu into Cu), while in others there will be composition changes as well (e.g., Cu into Fe, Fe into Cu). Copper and iron were chosen because of the considerable amount of literature available for comparison of results from testing of these metals.
