| Abstract |
Ion implantation is a technique that can improve the corrosion behaviour of metals and alloys and is used both in industry and in laboratory for fundamental research. The present study involves the behaviour of tungsten-implanted aluminium in solutions of carbonate and sulphate/chloride. The role of tungsten depends on the solutions used and, whereas it is deleterious for aluminium in carbonate solutions, it seems to be beneficial in passivating media such as sulphate solutions. This fact is due to the stabilization of the oxide films by WO3. Subsequent nitrogen implantation of tungsten-implanted aluminium does not improve its behaviour, at least in carbonate solutions. |
