Corrosion behaviour of layers obtained by nitrogen implantation into Boron films deposited onto iron substrates

The electrochemical behaviour and corrosion resistance of boron films deposited onto Armco iron after bombardment with 100 ke V N + ions were determined in various test solutions. The changes in the electrochemical parameters give evidence of lower anodic dissolution rates for the treated samples. Scanning electron microscopy and Auger analysis of the corroded surfaces confirm the presence of protective layers
