Abstract
The paper presents experimental results on the modification process in alpha-Fe surface layers after high-dose implantation. Slow positron b eam, conversion Mossbauer spectroscopy, resonance nuclear reactions, m easurements of microhardness, non-lubricated friction wear and frictio n coefficient in wear have been used. The relation of physico-chemical changes and defect structure to changes in operation characteristics of the modified and implanted alpha-Fe layer has been shown. Ti cluste rs and small dispersion carbides are formed in the surface of alpha-Fe after implantation, which increases microhardness and decreases the w ear and friction coefficient by a factor of 2.5. Ordered phase Fe3Al, which undergoes partial amorphization with increasing dose is produced as a result of Al implantation. This also decreases wear and increase s microhardness. The implantation of C ions did not show decreased wea r even in the case of 8 X 10(17) cm-2 doses, though increased microhar dness was found.
