Ion implantation and its related processes are powerful techniques for modifying the surface composition and, accordingly, the surface properties of metals. Research on the effect of ion implantation on the corrosion behavior of metals has now been carried out for over thirty years. This paper reviews research done between the years 1985 and 2000 on the corrosion or electrochemical behavior of ion-implanted iron and low-alloy steels, stainless steels, and aluminum and its alloys. The effect of over thirty different implanted elements is reviewed.
