The establishment of a potential-pH diagram for phosphorous implanted iron in aqueous solutions
The corrosion behavior following phosphorous implantation into pure iron was investigated and the corresponding potential-pH diagrams were established by means of potentiodynamic polarization studies in aqueous solutions with pH ranging from 1.3 to 11.3.

| Summary: | The corrosion behavior following phosphorous implantation into pure iron was investigated and the corresponding potential-pH diagrams were established by means of potentiodynamic polarization studies in aqueous solutions with pH ranging from 1.3 to 11.3. It was found that phosphorous implantation led to elevation of the corrosion potential and also extended the immunity and passivation range in comparison with that of the unimplanted iron. The mechanism of the corrosion resistance improvement of the phosphorous implanted iron is due to structural change and amorphous layer formation in the implanted surface. |
