The present contribution intends to highlight the role of ion implantation as an advanced surface modification technology. In order to show the role of this technique, a comparative study of the high temperature performance of some commercial steel grades after having been ion implanted with different elements is presented. The implanted and non‐implanted steels were tested at high temperatures, depending on the steel grade under isothermal as well as cyclic oxidation experiments. It is concluded that ion implantation may play a beneficial effect depending on the nature of the implanted ion as well as the oxidation conditions.
