Some recent applications of metal ion implantation by using MEVVA ion sources are reviewed

including the preparation of metal-silicide layer

magnetic film

quasi-crystal and surface composite material

and the researches concerning electrocatalysis

corrosion resistance

high-temperature oxidation resistance

fatigue

weathering of phosphate glass

etc. It is evident that

as a surface alloying method or an ion-beam irradiation method

ion implantation using MEVVA ion sources can effectively approve the physical

chemical

electionic

magnetic and mechanical properties of metal

ceramic and glass surface.
