Abstract
Using Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, nuclear elastic resonance analysis, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and wear resistance and microhardness tests, the alloy Ti41–V41–Al18 was investigated after Fe ion (60 kV) and Zr (40 kV) ion implantation and subsequent high-current electron beam (HCEB) irradiation at an energy flow density of 6 J/cm2, called duplex treatment. Profiles show that the maximum concentration of Fe ions was 16.5 at. % at 85 nm from sample surface and that of Zr ions was 0.85 at. % at 56 nm. The maximum of the Fe concentration profile was found to shift to the large sample depth toward after increasing the implantation dose. The surface alloy layer is composed of a number of structures: grains of dislocation substructure (2×1010 cm−2), grains with plates, and grains with packed martensite. The disorientation of regions is observed. After HCEB treatment, the disorientation of microregions increases (Δα=7.5°) and particles of Ti2Fe are formed. After double implantation, the dry friction wear and the friction coefficient decreased. After the duplex treatment, the thickness of the hardened layer and the wear resistance increased.
