The present paper reports the experimental data on the main regulariti
es of changes in structural, mechanical, and frictional parameters of
R6M5, U-10, and 6X4M2FS steels after irradiating by continuous beams o
f B+ and N+ ions, and purse beams of Mo+ ions. Pressures were estimate
d which an caused by propagation of acoustic bulk waves generated by i
on implantation. Possible mechanisms of surface hardening were discuss
