The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of zirconium and carbon implantation on iron films. Tribological properties, element and phase composition of iron thin-film samples during monoelement [C+, Zr+→ Fe], subsequent [Zr+ → (C+ → Fe), C+ → (Zr+ → Fe)] and joint [C+ + Zr+) → Fe] implantation were investigated.
