The purpose of the present paper is to discuss the possibilities and limits of three analytical techniques - namely RBS, NRA and SIMS - in studies of the worn surfaces of thin films. The chosen examples are not the most simple since the obtainable data by means of each technique are limited by the nature of the films, riders and atmosphere of friction tests. Surfaces of Ti or Fe implanted with N ions were worn in air against steel or silica balls, using a tribometer specially conceived for further surface analysis. Different mechanisms of oxidative wear have been shown based on the data of the above techniques and punctual complementary analysis by XPS or TEM. They are a diffusion of oxygen in the bulk of Ti—N, Fe—N solid solutions, through short paths and cracks in Ti2N, TiN compounds. In any case, the N diffusion during friction, which has been often invoked to explain the durable wear resistance of implanted metals, has not been observed.
