Surface analysis and oxidation behavior of Y-ion implanted AZ31 magnesium alloys

“…Among these techniques, ion implantation offers the unique possibility of introducing a controlled concentration of an element into a thin surface layer. In addition to the change of chemical composition, ion implantation induces changes in the surface due to radiation damage [11,12]. Moreover, there are other advantages such as the preservation of original dimensions.…”

Studies on the corrosion behavior of cerium-implanted zirconium

“…Recently, there are many studies about yttrium ion implantation devoted to the investigation of the aqueous corrosion resistance [3,4] and the high temperature oxidation behavior of metals [9][10][11]. Yttrium and cerium are both rare earth elements, it is expected the implanted cerium had similar effects on the aqueous corrosion resistance comparing to yttrium.…”
