Effect of lanthanum ion implantation on the corrosion behavior of zirconium
In order to study the influence of lanthanum ion implantation on the aqueous corrosion behavior of zirconium
specimens were implanted by lanthanum ions with a dose range from 1×10
16
to 1×10
17
cm-2
using MAVVA source at an extracted voltage of 40 kV. The valence of the surface layer was confirmed by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) . Three-sweep potentiodynamic polarization measurement was employed to evaluate the aqueous corrosion behavior of zirconium in a 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 solution. It was noted that a significant improvement was achieved in the aqueous corrosion resistance of zirconium implanted with lanthanum ions. The mechanism of the corrosion resistance improvement of the lanthanum-implanted zirconium was also discussed in this paper.
