Abstract

After corrosion and pitting corrosion, the wire nanometer phases are observed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in C+Ti dual implanted H13 steel. The property of corrosion resistance dual-implanted (C+Ti) H13 steel is studied using multi-sweep cyclic voltammetry. TEM images of the cross section of an implanted sample reveal plenty of circular nanometer structures with diameters of 10–30 nm. The phases are densely embedded in the implanted layer. The embedded structure improves the surface corrosion resistance, as can be observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The phases with the shape of a tiny wire in nanometer size are formed. The nanometer phases, consisting of TiC, FeTi and FeTi2, are formed in dual implanted layer. The corrosion current peak density decreases to 1/16–1/10 that of the unimplanted H13 steel. The formation conditions of the nanometer phases and their effects are investigated. The passivation layer consists of nanometer phases. The corrosion resistance of the dual implantation can be further enhanced with an increase in ion dose.
