Improvement in corrosion resistance of a nodular cast iron surface modified by plasma beam treatment
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Nodular cast iron (NCI) specimens with corrosion-resistant surfaces were fabricated by plasma beam treatment and tempering (400 °C, 1 h), which consisted of plasma surface melting, plasma surface melting + tempering, plasma surface alloying and plasma surface alloying + tempering. In this manner, near-surface graphite nodules were eliminated, and inter-dendrites and eutectics with a hyper-eutectic structure appeared on the modified surfaces, as indicated by SEM. The corrosion behaviour of treated specimens in 3.5 wt% NaCl was characterised by electrochemical methods and compared with that of an untreated NCI specimen at 25 °C. The corrosion resistance ranked as follows: surface-alloyed and tempered specimen > surface-alloyed specimen ≈ surface-melted and tempered specimen > surface-melted specimen > the untreated NCI specimen. Metallographic as well as electrochemical corrosion studies illustrate the beneficial effects of surface modification in refining the microstructure and in enhancing the corrosion resistance of NCI.
