Pure electrolytic iron samples were implanted with yttrium using ion i
mplantation technique. Compositions and structures of pure iron sample
s before and after yttrium implantations were investigated to determin
e the effect of ionic implantation. The aim of this paper is to show t
he correlation between composition and structural studies in order to
understand the role of the implanted yttrium depth distribution before
the elaboration of anti-corrosion coatings. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
