Influence of electron and ion beams of energy on the structural and mechanical properties of metals

As it was ascertained in works [1–2] plastic deformation processes by ion implantation begin to proceed already at doses 10¹⁴–10¹⁵ cm⁻², and the radiation-peening of material occurs. However, all the experiments about which it was reported earlier were accomplished on quasi-continuous accelerators, and thin metallic films and foils were used as targets. The application of the ion treatment for property modification of different materials permits to reveal new effects by interaction of charged particles with a solid body, which are not observed at traditional radiation regimes.
