Abstract
HCF tests on polycrystalline alpha-iron with and without silver, chromium, yttrium, and aluminum ion implantation have been conducted. The stress-life curves obtained were best fit by using the power function. It was shown that the fatigue property had been improved to different extent after ion implantation. Enhanced strengthening of the implanted layer due to radiation induced defects, super solid solution, and formation of intermetallic compounds in implantation was the prominent mechanism for property improvement.
