The Effect of Implantation of Nitrogen Ions on Corrosion-Electrochemical and Other Properties of Armco-Iron. Part I. Preparation and Standardization of Specimens

Abstract

The results of an investigation of the chemical composition, structure, topography, and mechanical properties of surface layers of armco-iron after implantation of nitrogen ions under various conditions are given. Using X-ray electron spectroscopy, the implanted nitrogen distribution profiles are determined and the formation of nonstoichiometric iron nitrides and oxynitrides is shown. Using X-ray analysis and electron energy-loss spectroscopy of dimensional fine structures, the atomic and local atomic structure of the ion-modified layers is studied.
