ResumoAbstract The thermal evolution of an ion-implanted alloy from the initial metastable state toward thermodynamic equilibrium is discussed. Three temperature regimes, distinguished by the mobilities of interstitial and substitutional atomic species, are considered, and emphasis is given to properties unique to the implantation environment. By monitoring the thermal evolution of such systems, basic new information may be obtained on alloying processes in metals. This approach is exemplified by an investigation of the diffusion and trapping of the embrittling impurity Sb in Fe-Ti-C alloys.
