Abstract

Nitrogen ions of 30 keV with different fluxes ranging from 5 × 1016 to 8 × 1017 ions/cm2 were implanted in Ti foil of 1.8 mm thickness. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to obtain the structural characteristics, while atomic force microscope (AFM) was employed to obtain the surface morphology of the samples. The potentiodynamic method was employed to obtain corrosion resistance of the samples in NaCl (3.5%) solution. Titanium nitride formation was enhanced with increasing the nitrogen ion flux, while grain size and surface roughness of the samples were also increased. Optimum corrosion resistance was obtained for 5 × 1016 (N+ ions/cm2).
