Abstract

Microstructural studies of ..cap alpha..-Fe (approximately 0.01 at. % C) implanted with titanium and subsequently annealed are reported. Ion beam analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to identify the precipitated phases and to obtain their microstructure. This investigation provides a basis for interpreting studies of Sb trapping at Ti-rich regions in Fe. Moreover, it has broader relevance to the behavior of strong carbide formers implanted into bcc steels. The results suggest a method to achieve surface hardening, as will be discussed.
