in the present work the effects of plasma nitridization on the passivation behavior of aisi 316l was investigated. to do this; nitriding treatments were carried out at 420°c for 1, 2, 4 and 16 hours. the phase composition and structure of the nitrided layer were studied by low angle x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. the hardness of samples also was evaluated by vickers microha...

AISI 316 stainless steels were coated with 250 nm Ni film by electron beam deposition and post-annealed at different temperatures with a nitrogen flow of 600 cm3min-1 nitrogen. The prepared samples were corrosion tested in 1.0 M sulphuric acid solution using potentiodynamic technique. Crystallographic and morphological structure of the samples were analyzedanalysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) an...

Ion implantation is a surface modification technology to produce new material on the surface by impingement of high energy ions from the ion accelerator. In this work, AISI 304 stainless steels were coated with 90 nm Ni film by electron beam deposition and implanted by a flow of 5×1017 N cm−2 at 400 K temperature with different implantation energies of 10, 20, 30 and 40 keV. The prepared sample...

Nitrogen doped tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:N) thin films were grown on p-Si(1 1 1) substrates using filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition by varying nitrogen flow rate. The effect of nitrogen flow rate on the corrosion performance of the films was investigated through potentiodynamic polarization and immersion tests in 0.6 M NaCl solutions. The polarization results showed that t...

Cyclic voltammetry and potentiodynamic polarization analyses were utilized to investigate the mechanism kinetics of glycine leaching reactions for chalcopyrite. The effects pH (9–12), temperature (30–90 °C) concentration (0–2 mol/L) on corrosion current density, potential cyclic voltammograms investigated using chalcopyrite concentrate–carbon paste electrodes. Results showed that an increase in...

Corrosion inhibitory effects of new synthesized compound namely 5,5'- ((1Z,1'Z)-(1,4-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))bis(azanylylidene))bis(1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol) (PBB) on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl was investigated at different temperatures using open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results showed that PBB inhibited m...
