EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF CORROSION RESISTANCE OF AISI-SAE 1020 CARBON STEEL IMPLANTED BY TITANIUM IONS
Abstract
The three-dimensional ion implantation technique (3DII) is an alternative to the material surface treatment which is used to mitigate the corrosion effect in low carbon steels exposed to aggressive media. In this work, the behavior of the surfaces of AISI SAE 1020 steel modified with titanium ions in respect to corrosion is studied by using electrochemical techniques. A considerable decrease in the corrosion rate of the implanted samples compared to the non-implanted samples is demonstrated. Thus an effective mechanism for the steel protection against deteriorations in aggressive media is found.Downloads
