Modification of metallic corrosion by ion implantation

This review will consider some of the properties of surface alloys, formed by ion implantation, which are effective in modifying corrosion behavior. Examples will be given of the modification of the corrosion behavior of pure metals, steels and other engineering alloys, resulting from implantation with metals and metalloids. Emphasis will be given to the modification of anodic processes produced by ion implantation since a review will be given elsewhere in the proceedings concerning the modification of cathodic processes.
