Abstract
The beneficial effect of ion-implanted yttrium and erbium on the oxidation behavior of low-nickel austenitic stainless steel (LNiSS) at 973 K has been investigated up to 500 hr of oxidation test in air. The resulting oxide scales were examined by a wide range of experimental techniques, including SEM/EDS, XRD, and EPMA. The results indicate that both reactive elements have similar effects. The most significant effects have been to significantly reduce the corrosion rate and to improve the oxide scale adhesion. It is concluded that ion implantation is a powerful tool as surface-modification process introducing reactive elements in the top surface.
