Corrosion resistance improvement of 30XGCN2A steel by ion implantation using cathodes based on immiscible components

Resumo

Research results of the corrosion resistance of 30XGCN2A steel after irradiation by a polyion beam using an implanter of copper, lead, monotectic alloy of 64% Cu–36% Pb (MA), and MA + Sn and MA + Al alloys as a cathode are given. An increase in the corrosion resistance of implanted samples during a total corrosion test carried out in a salt-spray chamber, as well as an increase in the electrode potential threshold value of the pitting corrosion when using an implanter of MA + Sn and MA + Al alloys as a cathode, is observed.
