Abstract
In this work the AISI 316L SS was implanted with two different ions namely nitrogen and argon separately at 100 KeV with fluence of 1Ă1017ions/cm2 at room temperature. The crystallographic orientation and surface morphology were studied using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The effects of ion implantation, on the corrosion performance of AISI316L stainless steel were evaluated. Microhardness was also measured by Vickers method by varying the loads. The results of the studies indicated that there was a significant improvement in both corrosion and hardness in the case of implanted samples.
