The authors have carried out some exploratory investigations of the efficacy of Zr ion implantation and Zr+O co-implantation for enhancement of the tribology and corrosion characteristics of 316-L stainless steel. A broad-beam vacuum arc based ion implanter was used for the metal and metal+gas implantations. Implantation dose was in the range (10{sup 16}--10{sup 17}) cm{sup {minus}2}, and the ion energy was typically about 100 keV. The highly polished stainless steel substrates were tested for their wear and friction behavior with a pin-on-disk apparatus, for their hardness with an ultra micro hardness tester, and their corrosion performance were determined by potentiodynamic polarization measurements. Wear and friction behavior of the implanted samples against UHMWPE disk samples were also examined.
